SEGA of America accused of mass layoff threats and improper bargaining in new labour complaint

An unfair labour practice complaint has been filed by the Communications Workers of America against Sonic the Hedgehog publisher SEGA of America amid allegations of improper bargaining with its union, the Allied Employees Guild Improving SEGA.

The complaint alleged that SEGA threatened to outsource the jobs of union workers to their Japanese and European departments, in a described "phase out" of all temporary workers at the publisher's Irvine, California office.

The proposal was tendered directly to the employees in a compulsory company meeting, as opposed to bargaining with the guild, potentially in violation of U.S. labour laws.

The layoffs is reportedly expected to eliminate around 80 positions, which is around 40 percent of the newly-formed union. The guild is largely comprised of workers from the departments of QA and localization.

"SEGA will not be allowed to get away with this unlawful behaviour," said SEGA quality assurance tester Elise Willacker in a statement to Kotaku.

"We call on the company to make all temporary employees permanent and return to the bargaining table in good faith. There is no other just alternative," said Willacker.

The complaint will go to the U.S. National Labour Relations Board, but action may not be taken in time before the layoffs occur.

SEGA has not responded to media requests for comment.

Video Games Should Probably Cost More

Okay, I'm sick of people saying "video games should be cheaper!" without really understanding the effect that has or why devs are arguing that video game prices are relatively cheap to begin with. I'd like to present my Hot Take: Buying a modern video game should in practice be way more expensive than it is, and the reason it isn't is directly due to the exploitation of labour under capitalism.

To start, folks need to understand that basically the only way modern video games can afford to be made at the scope and quality they are is by exploiting the people making them.

Realistically with the size, scope and budget most productions are operating on, most games these days simply cannot afford to be made in a way that compensates their workers fairly. They're simply too large and the margins - even though substantial in some cases - often simply aren't there.

To get around this, studios exploit their workforce to cut costs as much as possible, which in turn also enables them to cut down the price of games ("passing the savings on to you!!!"). Outsourcers in the Global South fight for their studios to take on contracts for the lowest pay, devs are carroted along on temp positions without benefits or financial security instead of permanent ones with benefits, undercutting QA departments to the point they can't afford to live in the same city they work in, incredibly low starting wages for developers starting in the industry, crunch culture...the list of how this ripples through ever part of the industry goes on.

I've also seen people say "Oh well indies are fine, I don't think THEY should make less money :)" and while the sentiment is nice the devaluation of game labour 100% applies to indies, possibly even moreso: Players have directly told me before that "indie games shouldn't cost more than $10" (!!!) or "your $5 game you put 1000+ hours of labour into and see only 70% profit returns of and hasn't broke even costs too much" (?!?). These preconceived ideas of how much a game 'should be worth' isn't coming from a void; games across the spectrum, and the labour put into them, are INSANELY devalued both indie and AAA alike. The 'indies get out of jail free card' is pretty moot when it comes to the culture of what most players perceive the value and labour that going into a game. Additionally it's always worth noting that because someone is indie doesn't mean they haven't found a way to exploit their workforce - they're not mutually exclusive concepts, and I've arguably seen more exploitative practices in indie spaces than AAA ones.

Obviously the concept of 'minimum pay maximum profit' is not unique to video games and is a general Capitalism problem, but know if studios did magically decide to charge less for games (and let's be real, they won't) it would come at the cost of having found more people to exploit more effectively. They'd find some shmucks who would make their games dirt cheap for them, open a new studio in a poor exploitable country, or even scrape pay off of their workforce. It's similar to when you buy a cheaper product at the supermarket - did the store selling it to you graciously decide they didn't want to earn as much of a profit? No, the probably just found someone who exploited their workforce more efficiently to give them better margins.

Do I think people should have to pay an arm and a leg for an entertainment product? Absolutely not, but I hope at a baseline the people who make arguments for paying less for games realize how prohibitively expensive they are to produce in the first place, and how simply "making them cheaper" would have knock on effects to how they're made.

Am I saying that if game prices increased that all these undercut devs would magically get paid? No of course not. A good chunk of the profit just goes on up to the executive level, or to shareholders first. Most devs don't see any of the money at all (and likely never would if studios had any say in it), but it also doesn't necessarily mean that if the money *did* reach them it would even be enough because, again, the production of making a whole-ass video game is incredibly expensive. Most executives would also gladly lay developers off or exploit other workers before taking a pay cut themselves but the money that does move around probably isn't enough in the first place.

There's no real thesis here because it's still early in the morning and I'm tired, but I just hope folks reflect on what exactly they're arguing for when they say blanket statements like "games should cost less". As a consumer it's an easy idea to throw around, but how you'd hope to see it put into practice behind the scenes is what you really should be talking and thinking about. "I want my video game to be cheap!" is a statement that is generally unhelpful and actually harmful to developers and work practices surrounding them - the money's gotta come off of someone and if a corporation is gunna take it from anyone first it's going to be the folks they have the most power over.

Personally I always think supporting the efforts of devs who are unionizing their workforce is paramount so that at a baseline, so they're at least paid what they're worth for the games they make for you and they have resources to fight back against their exploitation.

After all, I'm sure we can agree that if video games as we know them are going to continue to cost a ton of money to make, it's best that money at least go to the people being exploited most - right?

Key Benefits of Outsourcing to a Mobile App Development Company

Mobile apps have become an essential tool for businesses to engage with customers, streamline operations, and drive growth. However, developing a mobile app in-house can be time-consuming, costly, and resource-intensive.

This is where outsourcing to a mobile app development company comes in as a viable and strategic solution. By partnering with an experienced app development company, businesses can leverage a range of benefits that can significantly impact the success of their app projects.

The main benefits of outsourcing app development—such as cost effectiveness, access to knowledge, and quicker time to market—will be discussed in this blog.

1. Cost Efficiency

One of the most significant benefits of outsourcing mobile app development is cost efficiency. Developing an app in-house involves substantial expenses, such as hiring developers, designers, project managers, and QA testers, along with investing in the necessary infrastructure, tools, and software. However, outsourcing does away with these fixed expenses. Mobile app development companies typically offer flexible pricing models, such as fixed-price or hourly rates, allowing businesses to choose the best option based on their budget. By outsourcing, businesses can reduce development costs by up to 60%, enabling them to allocate resources to other critical areas of growth.

2. Access to a Wide Range of Expertise

Outsourcing to a mobile app development company gives businesses access to a diverse pool of skilled professionals with expertise in various technologies, platforms, and frameworks. These companies have experienced teams of developers, UI/UX designers, QA testers, and project managers who specialize in creating high-quality apps across different industries. This access to a wide range of expertise ensures that businesses benefit from the latest technologies, industry best practices, and innovative solutions, leading to the development of a robust and scalable app. Moreover, companies can tap into specialized skills such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), Augmented Reality (AR), and Internet of Things (IoT), which may not be readily available in-house.

3. Faster Time-to-Market

In the fast-paced digital world, speed is critical to staying ahead of the competition. Outsourcing mobile app development enables businesses to accelerate their app development process and bring their product to market faster. Development companies follow streamlined processes and Agile methodologies that facilitate faster development, testing, and deployment. With a dedicated team focused solely on app development, companies can avoid delays caused by internal bottlenecks, allowing for quicker iterations and updates. A faster time-to-market also means that businesses can seize market opportunities, respond to customer needs promptly, and generate revenue sooner.

4. Focus on Core Business Activities

By outsourcing app development, businesses can free up their internal resources and focus on their core competencies and strategic initiatives. Developing an app in-house can be a distraction from the primary business functions, diverting time and attention away from crucial activities such as marketing, sales, and customer service. Outsourcing allows companies to delegate the technical aspects of app development to experts while they concentrate on enhancing their core business operations, improving customer experiences, and driving growth.

5. Scalability and Flexibility

Outsourcing offers businesses the flexibility to scale their development team up or down based on project requirements. Mobile app development companies have the resources to accommodate changes in project scope, size, and complexity, providing businesses with the ability to adjust their strategies as needed. Whether it’s adding new features, integrating third-party services, or expanding the app to new platforms, outsourcing partners can quickly adapt to evolving needs. This scalability ensures that businesses can respond to market dynamics without the challenges of hiring or laying off in-house staff.

6. Reduced Risk and Enhanced Quality

Outsourcing to a reputable mobile app development company reduces the risk associated with app development. These companies have established processes, quality assurance practices, and risk management strategies in place to ensure the successful delivery of projects. They conduct thorough testing and quality checks at each stage of development, minimizing the chances of errors, bugs, or security vulnerabilities. With their expertise and experience, outsourcing partners are well-equipped to navigate potential challenges, ensuring a high-quality end product.

7. Access to the Latest Tools and Technologies

The field of developing mobile apps is constantly changing due to the frequent release of new tools, frameworks, and technologies. Outsourcing companies stay up-to-date with the latest advancements and invest in cutting-edge tools and technologies to deliver modern and innovative apps. By outsourcing, businesses can leverage these advancements without having to invest in expensive software, licenses, or training programs. This access to the latest technologies ensures that the app is developed using the most efficient, secure, and high-performing solutions available.

8. Ongoing Support and Maintenance

Outsourcing doesn’t end with the launch of the app; most development companies offer ongoing support and maintenance services to ensure the app remains up-to-date, secure, and compatible with the latest devices and operating systems. They provide regular updates, bug fixes, and performance enhancements, ensuring the app continues to meet user expectations and functions smoothly. This long-term support helps businesses retain users, minimize downtime, and keep their apps competitive.

The success of your app project may be greatly impacted by hiring a specialised Mobile App Development Company. This approach has many advantages. From cost efficiency and access to expertise to faster time-to-market and reduced risks, outsourcing provides businesses with a strategic advantage.

Key Factors to Consider When Outsourcing Mobile App Development

Outsourcing mobile app development can be a strategic move for businesses looking to leverage external expertise, save costs, and accelerate time-to-market. However, to ensure a successful partnership, it's crucial to consider several key factors:

Experience and Expertise: Look for a development partner with a proven track record in mobile app development. Check their portfolio to see if they have experience with projects similar to yours, especially in your industry. Their technical expertise, including proficiency in relevant programming languages, frameworks, and tools, is also essential.

Communication and Collaboration: Effective communication is vital when working with an outsourced team. Ensure they have a clear communication plan in place, including regular updates, meetings, and reports. Time zone differences and language barriers should be considered, as these can impact collaboration and project timelines.

Quality Assurance and Testing: Quality should never be compromised. Ask about the vendor’s testing processes to ensure your app will be thoroughly tested across different devices, operating systems, and user scenarios. A rigorous QA process will help identify and fix bugs early, ensuring a smooth and reliable app launch.

Security and Confidentiality: Your app may involve sensitive data, so it's crucial to choose a partner who prioritizes security. Ensure they follow best practices for data protection and have robust security measures in place. Non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) are also essential to protect your intellectual property and ensure confidentiality.

Cost and Budgeting: While outsourcing can be cost-effective, it's important to have a clear understanding of the pricing structure. Whether it’s a fixed price or hourly rate, ensure the cost is transparent with no hidden fees. Also, consider the potential cost of delays or scope changes, and have a contingency plan in place.

Project Management Approach: Understand the vendor's project management methodology—whether it's Agile, Scrum, or Waterfall. Agile methodologies, for example, are popular for app development as they allow for flexibility and iterative progress. Ensure their approach aligns with your expectations and project goals.

Cultural Fit and Company Values: A good cultural fit between your team and the outsourced partner can make collaboration smoother and more productive. Consider the company’s work culture, values, and ethics. A partner who understands your business goals and shares your vision is more likely to deliver a successful outcome.

Post-Development Support and Maintenance: The launch of the app is not the end of the journey. Ensure the outsourcing partner offers post-development support, including bug fixes, updates, and maintenance. Discuss the terms of ongoing support to avoid any surprises down the line.

References and Reviews: Before finalizing your decision, ask for references or case studies from previous clients. Online reviews and testimonials can also provide insights into the vendor’s reliability, quality of work, and client satisfaction.

Scalability and Flexibility: Your app may need to evolve and scale over time. Choose a partner who can accommodate changes, whether it’s adding new features, increasing user capacity, or expanding to other platforms. Their ability to scale the development team as your needs grow is also important.

Outsourcing mobile app development can be a powerful way to bring your app to life, but selecting the right partner is key to success. By carefully considering these factors, you can minimize risks and set the stage for a productive collaboration that delivers a high-quality app on time and within budget.

This helps you meet industry rules and guidelines without any hiccups.  

Risk mitigation 

In the healthcare industry, the stakes are high. Even a small error can lead to costly lawsuits and damaged reputations. Regular Salesforce testing helps mitigate risks. It identifies and addresses potential issues before they can cause harm. It's a proactive approach that safeguards your business and its reputation. 

Efficient resource use 

Testing can be a resource-intensive process, requiring time, expertise and specialized tools. Healthcare firms can benefit from outsourcing this function to a Salesforce testing services provider. These experts have the knowledge and tools to perform testing more efficiently. 

Scalability 

As your healthcare enterprise expands, your CRM needs to adapt to new challenges and demands. Healthcare testing providers scale their services to match the size and complexity of your CRM. This ensures that all aspects of your system are thoroughly tested. This flexibility allows your CRM to grow alongside your business. 

Cost-effective testing 

Salesforce testing services can be good for your budget too. They’re a cost-effective solution because you don't have to train your in-house testing team in Salesforce. Plus, there’s no need to invest in specialized testing tools. You pay for the testing services you want, without any overheads. 

Test automation 

Testing providers often use automation tools to run repetitive tests. This reduces the chances of human error and ensures thorough testing coverage. Automation can also save time and resources, as tests can be conducted more efficiently. 

Summing up 

Salesforce testing for healthcare providers is critical. It ensures high-quality patient care, regulatory compliance and risk mitigation. 

Partnering with a healthcare testing services provider can ease the testing process. It can also be a cost-effective solution. 

Prioritizing Salesforce testing can unlock operational and patient care excellence for your business. It does this by ensuring that your CRM is always secure, efficient and accurate. So, don't compromise - make Salesforce testing a top priority.

However, effectively managing outsourced data entry projects requires careful planning, clear communication, and robust oversight to ensure quality, accuracy, and timely delivery of data. This article explores the best practices and key considerations for successfully managing outsourced data entry projects.

1. Define Clear Objectives and Requirements

Before embarking on an outsourced data entry project, it is crucial to define clear objectives, goals, and specific requirements. Outline the scope of work, types of data to be handled, expected turnaround times, quality standards, and any special instructions or protocols. Clearly communicating these details to the outsourcing partner helps establish mutual understanding and alignment from the outset.

2. Choose the Right Outsourcing Partner

Selecting the right outsourcing partner is fundamental to the success of your data entry project. Consider factors such as the partner's experience in handling similar projects, industry expertise, reputation, scalability, technology infrastructure, and data security measures. Conduct thorough due diligence, including reviewing client testimonials, case studies, and requesting references to ensure the outsourcing partner has a track record of delivering high-quality and reliable services.

3. Establish Effective Communication Channels

Establishing clear and effective communication channels is essential for maintaining transparency, addressing issues promptly, and ensuring project milestones are met. Define communication protocols, such as regular status updates, scheduled meetings, and a single point of contact for both parties. Utilize collaboration tools and project management platforms to facilitate real-time communication, file sharing, and tracking of project progress.

4. Define Quality Assurance and Control Processes

Implement robust quality assurance (QA) and control processes to maintain accuracy and consistency throughout the data entry project. Define QA checkpoints, validation procedures, and error handling protocols to identify and rectify discrepancies promptly. Establish clear guidelines for data verification, validation against source documents, and adherence to predefined quality metrics. Regular audits and reviews should be conducted to monitor performance and compliance with agreed-upon standards.

5. Ensure Data Security and Confidentiality

Data security is paramount when outsourcing data entry tasks, especially when handling sensitive or confidential information. Ensure the outsourcing partner adheres to industry-standard security practices, such as encryption, secure data transmission protocols, access controls, and compliance with data protection regulations (e.g., GDPR, HIPAA). Execute non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) and confidentiality agreements to safeguard proprietary information and mitigate risks of data breaches or unauthorized access.

6. Provide Comprehensive Training and Onboarding

Invest in comprehensive training and onboarding sessions for the outsourced data entry team to familiarize them with your business processes, systems, and specific project requirements. Clearly communicate expectations, provide access to necessary resources and tools, and offer continuous support to address any queries or challenges that may arise during the project lifecycle. Training ensures that the outsourcing team understands the nuances of data entry tasks and performs them accurately according to your specifications.

7. Monitor Performance Metrics and KPIs

Establish key performance indicators (KPIs) and metrics to monitor the performance of the outsourced data entry project effectively. Track metrics such as data accuracy rates, turnaround times, productivity levels, error rates, and adherence to deadlines. Regularly assess performance against predefined KPIs to identify areas for improvement, address potential bottlenecks, and ensure alignment with project goals. Use performance data to make informed decisions and optimize workflows for greater efficiency and quality.

8. Promote Continuous Improvement and Feedback

Encourage a culture of continuous improvement and feedback loops within the outsourced data entry project team. Solicit feedback from both internal stakeholders and the outsourcing partner to identify process enhancements, streamline workflows, and implement best practices. Foster open communication, constructive dialogue, and collaboration to drive ongoing improvements in performance, efficiency, and service delivery.

9. Manage Change Effectively

Anticipate and manage changes effectively throughout the duration of the outsourced data entry project. Be responsive to evolving business needs, regulatory requirements, or technological advancements that may impact project scope or deliverables. Maintain flexibility in project planning and execution to accommodate changes while minimizing disruption to timelines and deliverable quality. Communicate changes promptly with the outsourcing partner and adjust project plans as necessary to ensure alignment with revised objectives.

10. Conduct Post-Project Evaluation and Review

Upon completion of the outsourced data entry project, conduct a thorough post-project evaluation and review session. Assess overall project performance, achievements against initial objectives, adherence to quality standards, challenges encountered, and lessons learned. Gather feedback from stakeholders and the outsourcing partner to identify successes, areas for improvement, and opportunities for future collaboration. Document insights and recommendations to inform future outsourcing strategies and enhance project management practices.

Conclusion

Effectively managing outsourced data entry projects requires careful planning, diligent oversight, and adherence to best practices throughout the project lifecycle. By defining clear objectives, selecting the right outsourcing partner, establishing effective communication channels, implementing robust QA processes, ensuring data security, providing comprehensive training, monitoring performance metrics, promoting continuous improvement, managing change effectively, and conducting post-project evaluations, businesses can optimize the success of their data entry outsourcing initiatives. With proper execution of these best practices, organizations can achieve operational efficiency, cost savings, and high-quality data outcomes, ultimately driving business growth and competitiveness in today's dynamic marketplace.

Mobile applications have become essential tools for businesses to engage with their customers and drive growth. However, developing a successful mobile app requires expertise, dedication, and innovation. This is where hiring dedicated mobile app developers can make all the difference. In this blog post, we'll explore the numerous advantages of choosing dedicated developers for your mobile app project

By tapping into their knowledge and experience, you ensure that your app is built using cutting-edge tools and techniques, resulting in a top-quality product.

Seamless Integration and Collaboration:

Hiring mobile app developers ensures seamless integration into your existing team and workflows.

Whether you need to scale your team up to meet tight deadlines or down during quieter periods, dedicated developers can easily accommodate your needs. This flexibility enables you to optimize resource allocation and maintain agility in response to market dynamics.

Cost-effectiveness:

Despite the initial investment, hiring mobile app developers can be cost-effective in the long run. By outsourcing your app development, you eliminate the overhead costs associated with hiring and maintaining an in-house team. Additionally, you benefit from competitive pricing models and streamlined development processes, maximizing your return on investment.

Conclusion:Hiring dedicated mobile app developers for your next project is a strategic decision that can propel your app development journey towards success.
