When I left Netflix due to burnout, someone outside our industry told me I was making a big mistake and I should continue to work hard. Here’s something many don’t understand: our work doesn’t truly start at 9am and stop at 5pm like most jobs. #StoryCraftUnite #NewDeal4Animation
Our brains are constantly working. It’s something we can’t truly turn off. It’s sometimes a blessing, but most times it’s a curse. We are taxed each and every day and it gradually wears us down mentally and emotionally, not just physically.
And pandemic life certainly hasn’t helped. Plus unpaid overtime, no residuals, pay rates that haven’t really increased since the 90’s, and biggest of all, studios now expecting us to do work that once took 10-12 people to do. It’s truly unfair #StoryCraftUnite #NewDeal4Animation
