Hmm I don't remember ever having the time to hang about to chat and gobble down on pizza during any of the server outages I was involved in. |

LOL @ all the people "also working in IT" telling CCP to just go home and start again tomorrow.
because yes, that's EXACTLY what you do when you have a client-facing mission-critical service down and a million unhappy customers - you eat some pizza, smoke a blunt and go home to **** to your favourite Pornhub series and then start fresh in the morning. |

20:00 UTC - PIZZA HAS BEEN ACQUIRED AND WE ARE CURRENTLY REFUELLING OUR DEVS!
Thats exactly what we do when we have some massive problems with our infrastructure at the datacenter and everyone is doing overtime.
Sit about with your dicks in your hands and eat pizza? Gee let me know which DC that is so I can make sure to never rent servers there. |

The point wasn't that CCP shouldn't be looking out for the welfare of their employees, or that devs shouldnt have food, it was that if I was the paying customer of a company whose service has been unaccessible for over 6 hours (and I am), what I'd like to see to give me confidence is a detailed explanation of the problem and photos of people WORKING on it (even if they're having pizza at the same time), not pictures of devs hanging around a table having pizza with a game room in the background. Maybe I'm less hipster and my idea of PR is different but not really what I'd post with a mass of pissed off people on the forums.
Otherwise noones expecting people to work like robots. Though robots will likely be replacing us all soon enough.
Oh and a bit more detail on what's going on would be nice, we're not technical morons here, most of us can actually tell between our software and hardware and our frontends and backends (hopefully most people can generally tell between the last two). |

Aye, there can be only one.

Seriously though, if one of my company's customer's demanded that, we'd laugh in their face and drop them as a customer. They owe you nothing. They don't even owe you a status update; they're doing so because they're good people and like to keep us informed.
Self-entitled children. ffs.
Bbbut.. how will EVE go on without me? Also, is this the fantasy play pretend company you dream of having when you grow up or the one you've already driven into bankruptcy with **** customer relations? Either way, glad I don't have to deal with it, if you think a company doesn't owe its clients anything.

I hope so too. It's especially unfortunate when I have gas.

As a paid professional your paycheck should be its own reward. Unless it's volunteer work, there is no need to prostrate yourselves and say thanks to those fixing what shouldn't be broken. The world has certainly changed. Trophy Generation.
I feel the same, but it must be because we're douchebags.
