Hes currently a testing manager for Fortnite

He came on as a contractor a year ago and got promoted like 3 times in that span. In his interview, they asked if he played Fortnite and his response was I never have, its not really my type of game

When he was a contractor, Epic Games was pulling some shenanigans where they were getting rid of Epic Fridays (all employees got every other Friday off) in exchange for unlimited PTO. But this didnt apply to contractors, so he bitched to upper level management every chance he got that they were getting ripped off, and soon after they moved him to a full time employee

Now he is at the point where his boss is discussing moving him to the creative side of development, all because the whole time he has told them he doesnt particularly like Fortnite and has called out other managers on their bullshit

a year ago, he was jobless, with no education beyond a GED

its like a real life version of the Seinfeld episode where George tells the truth lmao

idk what you want me to say mayne. i guess its a half truth, he was enrolled in associates courses but didnt have the degree yet.

came on as contractor QA, got hired by the company, moved up to a tester, and then got moved up to the next tier managing his own group of testers and now they are relocating him to their headquarters in NC

Honestly I can definitely see, particularly if you're a long running game/franchise, how it would be really beneficial to have someone on board who isn't a superfan and doesn't have the associated bias' towards the series
