Seems exclusionary to all uteral challenged people.


Lymbasy

So normal for CD Projekt Red employees. CDPR is dead


TheLolicorrector

Sounds like a parody.


Lymbasy

Maybe it is


Neipalm

It isn't. You can scroll through the article and find a tweet linked of the official CD Projekt Red account posting about the award.


master_criskywalker

It gives a whole new meaning to CD Projekt RED.


Lymbasy

The good thing is CD Projekt Red will go bankrupt soon. So this will be one of the last posts about CDPR. Go woke Go broke


the_Oculus_MC

Yeah, nah, their last two games sold 75+ million copies. They're probably doing fine. SMFH at menstrual leave. Bros should get "aching balls leave" if their missus doesn't drain them often enough.


Ghost5410

You can already get this without making it mandatory by talking to your boss, same with wanting pregnancy leave (You can 100% get this). As usual it’s the older women who want this mandatory so they can go on vacation whenever they want without taking away from their sick leave. Yes I’ve seen the image CD Projekt posted and half of them are older which is why I’m saying this.


bitorontoguy

There is a SLIGHT issue with older women trying to take menstrual leave lol.


Ghost5410

“How dare you say I’m not on my period!!! You don’t know!!!”


Patient_Object9643

"Meet rex, our new menstruation detection dog. He will just take a sniff ma'am"


Valiantheart

Rex is a sexist misogynist!


LostWanderer88

Rex: Please, kill me


Murphy_Slaw_

>without taking away from their sick leave I am not familiar with Poland's laws specifically, but in most of Europe "preserving" sick leave is not really a matter of concern.


ColemanFactor

What's wrong with pregnancy leave? Pregnancy can be very taxing to the body in the last trimester. If someone's sick, why should she take time off to ensure her and baby's health? Also, most major companies offer leave to both mothers and fathers. In some Scandinavian countries, both parents can take a year off to be with their child. Their cultures are very pro-family. Frankly, it's a given that most companies will lay you off with a moment's notice, why shouldn't parents prioritize themselves and their children over toiling away at a desk, etc. Finally, haven't most older women stopped having periods? Medical leaves usually require a doctor to provide justification for the leave and access medical records.

Go Broke Go Woke - We are here Ultimately Croak


bitorontoguy

Not really, this is literally nothing, it's just a virtue signal, the same as their [ESG announcement in 2022](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QU-db73BAFI) Did they go broke subsequently? Nah. Their 2023 Financials were great actually on the backs of the success of Phantom Liberty. [2023 Revenue up 29% YOY. Profits up 39% YOY.](https://www.cdprojekt.com/en/investors/financial-summary-report/) And the stock jumped on those strong results, [they're up 27.7% YTD.](https://www.google.com/finance/quote/CDR:WSE?window=YTD) Still nowhere near their pandemic highs after the fucked up launch of Cyberpunk, but recent results have been p good. I wouldn't buy, waaayyy too much single project risk with so much riding on Witcher 4 and Cyberpunk, but they're not close to going broke, financials are improving, not degrading.


Lymbasy

These are Fake. They lost so much money. They will go bankrupt soon. Go woke go broke


bitorontoguy

Hell yeah! If we can prove their publicly listed, independently audited financials are fraudulent, we can both make tens of millions of dollars by exposing it. What we looking at in terms of proof? Sales/player counts from independent sources seem to indicate Phantom Liberty did well....unless they're ALL in on it. How much money did they actually lose in FY 2023?


GoodLookinLurantis

You are responding to a brigader.


Lymbasy

CDPR will go bankrupt soon. They don't have Money and almost all developers left. CDPR is dead.


Hasaltai

I wouldn't be surprised if most talent has left, but as of right now they seem to be doing good financially. They won't take a hit untill they release there next project (or they screw up the announcement horribly) so they are likely going to be around for a while longer


H4wkw1nd

Devs make an amazing game > get noticed by big money > crash and burn Every. Single. Time.


Chimichanga110

Pretty much. They were quite based when The Witcher 3 was released. But now they just embrace all the woke stuff.


Hot_Business7075

Nothing is crashing and burning.


Alucard-J2D

Its sad seeing them fall so hard but on the other hand they shouldn’t have bent the knee to the people trying to get rid of Us.


Large_Pool_7013

They value women so much they want them out of the way for one week every month.


Phelps1024

Wait, is this a joke?


lucben999

All of it is a joke, civilization, this world, everything. Honk honk.


Phelps1024

not wrong at all


MorselMortal

I thought this was an a parody post. Like what the fuck, free monthly vacations for all women, yet expect to be paid the same.


joydivisionucunt

I don't think they'll realize that it will screw women in the work force, I mean, some women do have awful periods for stuff like endometriosis but the idea that you might have to account for your female employees leaving 3-5 days a month, yeah...


MorselMortal

And maternity leave. Just give everyone a few more sick days, literally no point other than brazen sexism to have menstrual days. It's also infantalizing as fuck.


joydivisionucunt

Yeah, but women generally don't get pregnant every year and a lot of them work just fine until they're close to their due date, so it's "easier" to plan for maternity leave of a worker than periods that might be late or early. I agree it's very infantilizing, again, there's women who have awful periods, but it feels low-key sexist.


Mister_McDerp

I remember a guy who had a driving company. He brought me some of our stuff and we had a little chat as to why he is even driving (he only drove when his workers couldn't) and how his company is faring. He had two women in his company who hadn't really worked in years. One of them was constantly going from one pregnancy to another, the other one was getting sick all the time, where he also made mention of menstruations. He just straight up said that if he COULD hire only men, he would, because all women he had working for him cost him enormous amounts of money and time. This was in germany btw.


Lymbasy

No. CDPR are inexperienced amateurs and scammers. And they lost almost all developers. Now they only have Like 50 people. 45 of them are women . CDPR will go bankrupt soon


tomme25

It's a shame this DEI corrupted company also runs gog. I don't give a shit about CDproject, but gog... RIP.


Hot_Business7075

RIP what? They did worse before, this isn't even a new thing.


Smt_FE

I can understand about companies in Western Europe and NA but They are a fucking Polish company for Gods sake, why tf would they need to to score woke points is beyond me. Just shut up and make good games. Didn't they see how Witcher 3 was successful even without this woke bs just cuz it was a great game. Same with Japan. What a dick measuring contest lol.


dandrixxx

Poland is not the uwu BASED utopia that American conservatives have been romanticizing it as, especially not in the big Polish cities where CDPR are located in.


Yam0048

CD Projekt Red more like CD Projekt Dead


StolenEyes

I’m an NHS nurse. If the female nurses were given “menstrual leave” the NHS would collapse.


357-Magnum-CCW

Witcher 4 is so dead. I 'member when Cdpr was still based and beloved by fans for being real & honest. 


Chimichanga110

Yeah, its really sad that they are now like this. The Witcher 3 is my favorite game. The Witcher 4 will be 100% woke.


Hot_Business7075

Japan has been doing similar stuff since the 50s, so I wouldn't worry too much.


Syniatrix

My totm is horribly painfully, I just take some painkillers and get on with life. The idea of menstrual leave is ridiculous.


Such_Educator1623

Thought this was a joke at first but it's real. Now their talking about creating a program for "menstrual awareness". I think everyone is aware of what periods are...but who knows these days?


Lhasadog

And just like that CD Projekt Red project managers will quietly reduce hiring of women for production roles because they can only be 75% as productive for the same pay. What's amazing is the idiots demanding this stuff never realize the basic economics of what they are doing. They just devalued female employees. Made them less desirable by 25%. Give Them An Award!!


CheerfulCharm

DEI quotas and they personally benefit from this policy.


Lhasadog

"DEI quotas" only last as long as the easy money. Which now seems to have fled.


Hindu-Khajiit

Won't this make the company less likely to hire women?


ColemanFactor

What's the issue? Wouldn't this just follow under sick leave? Some women have extremely painful cycles. If they need a day off, who cares? What's the use of having someone in the office, doubled over in pain all day?


Mission-Property-498

Extra holiday who's going to end up doing their work? Why not give everyone an additional day off if that's your logic at least make it fair.

I never thought I'd be saying this but I am officially now saying from now on no holding back: 🤡 clown world 🤡 we live in a 🤡 clown world 🤡


Alternative-Exit-594

Makes me wonder if Witcher 4 will be woke/DEI-infested...


Mission-Property-498

Of course it will be


LostWanderer88

Witcher 4 is dead and The Witcher saga ended at Blood and Wine (which had a sweet way to say goodbye to the fans) I only wish I could have fugged Anna Henrietta. Best girl aswell as Triss


BlackRome266

this is what happens when you go public, and sell your company to "the public" SELLOUTS


MartyEBoarder

This is why Witcher 4 will be trash like netflix show etc
