    Fair enough, giving people jobs in a country where they can actually make a living is a bad thing.

      You legitimately believe visa workers were not threatened to be deported in the UK if they worked for less than their Unionized workers who actually negotiated for living wages‽ In the Brexit economy‽

        You don’t have to threaten to deport your workers if you sign the contract beforehand though? Once they’ve agreed to the salary, they’ve agreed to it. Did they make less than a pureblood Brit in the same role? Perhaps. We don’t know that. But generally speaking, you don’t go importing labour unless you literally can’t find enough locals anymore. The bureaucracy nightmare isn’t worth the cost savings otherwise. Particularly because a lot of countries don’t allow you to pay the imported labour less than you’d pay your purebloods in the same role. Exception of course being people from countries with whom you have freedom of movement (so anything intra-EU is allowed)

        Also, it’s not like he was the CEO or something. He was the creative director. I swear some people just want to be angry at everyone.

          If he wasn’t part of the hiring decisions, I take back what I said. But creative directors do influence who gets assigned roles in a studio, and what tasks get sent to the visa’d. There’s nothing indicating he wasn’t aware the studio hired visa workers when he worked there. Accents and vernaculars differ. I doubt he was oblivious that roles he assigned to foreigners were not hired to be exploited.

            So you have no idea if what you’re saying is even true?

                I quoted you directly, stating that “if this turns out not to be true I take it back” which implies you have no strong evidence for it being true.

                  Then say: “We are not completely aware if as a Creative Director he was involved in in the exploitation of the hired visa’d during his tenure, but fuck’em unions.”

                    but fuck’em unions.

                    Are we still talking about the guy that stopped working for the company 5 years before the whole union busting thing happened?
