You'd think so, eh? It depends on a studio, but in most cases they don't care, or at least don't show it. The bottom line is always money. If you're good and have some self-respect you expect an adequate (and reasonable) pay for you're work and sadly for most producers that just equals higher expenses. So often-time they will replace the good people with the cheap people or they will keep the good people at the entry-level pay (no raises). It's sad if you know that the companies are making more and more money from year to year but paying less and less for the work.

Also, as others mentioned a lot of time the people in charge have no clue about the work. Often-times the supervisors are not the best artist, just the best sweet-takers, and line producers have no clue about the workflow (e.g. "..I don't care! Just do the animation first, that's priority, we will model the characters later").

Having said that, you can still find honourable and fair bosses... just not too many.


Every bloody word is damn right!!

Similar to my post too prior.....
