This is the sort of thing I was talking about in the Bill Murray article yesterday.
Women are going to start making all of these outrageous demands on their workplaces, claiming they need all these special privileges.
But if they can just say “I am bleeding out of my goo hole” and then leave indefinitely, what more do they really need?
I will say: just getting them out of the office entirely would obviously be the best thing for men. Women in the workplace literally reduce productivity. No matter how much women do collectively, their collective harm to productivity in a male space negates it.
This will be a big benefit to men to be able to get women out of the office so they can work, and so it’s possible the next game will be much better than Cyberpunk 2077.
I’m 100% sure this is just a plot by a company that was forced to hire women at a job women hate and cannot do to get women out of the workplace so they can get things done.
No other company does this, and this is such a bro gamer move.
In a huge step for equality in the workplace (both within the games industry and beyond), GOG recently announced that it’s started offering menstrual leave to its employees. This means that “whenever period pains occur,” affected employees can take as much time as needed off work to recover.
The menstrual leave days will be fully paid, with GOG estimating that it will result in affected employees taking an additional day off per quarter.
Per quarter?
More like per week – at least. All women will just take a ten day period off.
Aside from just getting these worthless nagging whores out of an adult workplace, it is also just a generally good idea to isolate the witches while they’re bleeding from their holes. Moslems have done this since forever. It says in the Koran that you’re supposed to keep a separate house to exile the women to while they’re menstruating. It’s common sense.
GOG is a subsidiary of Polish game developer and publisher CD Projekt, of The Witcher and Cyberpunk 2077 fame/infamy. Following GOG’s announcement, I reached out to CD Projekt PR Director Radek Grabowski to ask whether the menstrual leave initiative might also extend to the parent company, which totals around 1124 employees. He replied, “GOG is spearheading this initiative, and we’re looking into it further for the whole CD Projekt.”
So all going well, we could see the progressive policy become standardised in one of the most famous games companies in the world, leading by example for others to do the same. As things stand, menstrual leave is almost unheard of in both videogame and other companies, and the only countries that currently have any form of national menstrual leave are Indonesia, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Zambia.
The initiative to get menstrual leave implemented was spearheaded by GOG culture and communication manager Gabriela Siemienkowicz, who told Axios that the new policy “fosters inclusiveness by accepting that there are biological differences in the workplace… by giving such additional days off, we acknowledge these symptoms are real.”
Biological differences…?
But I thought…
Never mind.
Forget it.
