The well-known Polish video game creator Adrian Chmielarz publicized on social media the unusual “offer” that Jacek Piórkowski, creative director of the gaming company Spectrum Studios, offered to the screenwriter on the LinkedIn platform. One of her job duties was to be “naked sauna sessions” with Piórkowski and the team.
The company’s boss expects a naked session in the sauna. “If you don’t feel like it, find a job somewhere else.”
“We have already exchanged a few messages. From what you said, it appears that you consider naked sessions in the sauna to be part of your job duties. I pointed out that this precludes cooperation for me and we left it alone. Anyway, thank you for the offer,” wrote the screenwriter. . The head of Spectrum Studios replied that she had plenty of time to correct him, “write the scene in the sauna without being in it and send it to Magda.”
He then argued that naked sauna sessions are necessary to prepare good scripts. “My ‘Narrative Girls’ go to the sauna with me to create a great script. Technically it is possible without it, but I love the fact that they do it from their own experience,” said Jacek Piórkowski.
The Magda mentioned by the head of Spectrum Studios is Magdalena Kucenty, who explained on Facebook on Tuesday that she is not even an employee at Piórkowski’s company. “One of my former students from the narrative design course, Jacek Piórkowski, was throwing my name around, trying to recruit people in an absolutely unacceptable way,” we read in her statement. “Mr. Jacek spread my name on LinkedIn without my consent or knowledge, I am actually another person injured in this case and I still have to explain my wrongdoing,” she added.
Jacek Piórkowski does not see anything strange in his proposal of cooperation. “It’s simple. We’re making a game about sauna sessions. I don’t want to waste time explaining the difference between a Russian banya and a dry sauna. You have to feel it. We can even organize a party only for women, we’ve already done it. If you don’t feel like it, find work elsewhere,” said the head of Spectrum Studios. Responding to the entries of outraged Internet users, he added that “it’s not about undressing”, but about “experiencing a different type of sauna”.
“Would you hire a cloud engineer who doesn’t understand the idea behind the cloud, or an engineer to build an airplane who doesn’t understand the physics of why an airplane flies? I wouldn’t do it, I have better ways to waste money. You have to understand the task, and that’s is very specific,” Piórkowski wrote in another entry.
“Do you have to shoot people to create a good FPS?”
Video game creator Adrian Chmielarz believes that the creator does not have to experience something personally to be able to create an attractive story about it. “If you are very insistent on this fetish for a personal experience, because, as we know, reading and watching materials about various types of saunas is not enough, no, you have to sit there in person, then you politely ask your colleagues to choose a form, time and company that is convenient for them. , you provide funds for it and that’s where your role ends,” he commented.
The guy is doing quite a bit of gaslighting because Ola is such a nonsense, instead of bothering him at the socials, she could have tried to write a scene about a sauna without actually being in the sauna. Meanwhile, the employment requirements state in black and white that sauna sessions are a ‘non-negotiable obligation’
– Chmielarz noticed.
In turn, Grzegorz Miecznikowski, a specialist in communication, sales optimization and business development, emphasized that recruitment results and conversations about work or orders cannot depend on whether someone consents to undressing in the company of the boss or other people. “Empirical experience is not always needed. Do you have to shoot people to create a good FPS? Did the people responsible for The Sims take ladders out of swimming pools for their household members and wait for them to drown? Did the creators of SimCity actually build cities? Was it to write a scene from murders, do you have to kill someone? Do you have to plant bombs to write a thriller about terrorists? No, that’s strange,” he added on the platform.
