“As a former #Sony Japan #engineer, I only remember working unpaid overtime. I wasn't allowed to leave before my boss. Many times, I had to sleep under my desk and go weeks without showering. Not to mention, the environment was stressful. This is how we developed the #Walkman, the #Discman, the #Handycam, and the #PlayStation.” — #coisasnatv, Youtube comment.

We never know the insane amount of stressful things these people go under to build the technical marvels they do so the companies can seduce our eyes and our pockets.

@coisasnatv (2 days ago) “@MatchGrade08 In terms of money, I used to make $10,000 per month back in the '90s. However, I spent almost all of it on medical bills. I defended the company until they fired me like trash when I got sick. So no, I'll never do that again and f*ck Sony!”
