It seems like some sort of natural law that any industry with a lot of revenue and teens/young adults dream of working in ends up with similar issues. Poor work environment, poor or deceptive compensation, tons of time or travel, psychopathic management and some sort of age bracket. That best describes the game industry, but it fits the major label side of the music industry, the bottom 95% of pro snowboarding, military combat, resort work and i'm sure there's more. And if include a set that misses just one of the traits you arguably could ad tv and film, the junior level investment banking scene, pro sports maybe. Hell, startup employee is a fairly close fit as well. I think it's just human nature - young people have a lot of passion, energy and without a stretch of office employment may lack some of the context necessary to decide how exploitative or appropriate various demands are. Given some of the common psychological traits often associated with officers and directors at many firms, it's not surprising that a certain number of them would see no problem in or perhaps even their responsibility to structure their business or process to take advantage of (exploit) this pool of people that dream of being part of it. At some point, whether or not the constant crunch turnover and burnout is worth it versus a more sustainable style that increased retention and experience level seems like an unsolvable riddle for any firm thats culture has been built on crunching. Anybody who has made it to senior management in these places has done so by being successful at executing the model and getting their underlings to work under those conditions. If you can't stomach it you won't stick around. So essentially upper management is full of people who have shown they're cool with it and have seen it work. Some probably flat out enjoy it. With this kind of environment it's hard to believe you could even finish pitching the idea, let alone get enough traction to investigate or even come up with a plan to implement something that would take so long to have any measurable results. Unless great results came quickly, I'd be surprised if they had more than two years before everybody got sacked and they reversed coarse
