[I'm nobody]

Not only that there's a good chance I'd be laid off

 

[//DEVIL//]

I would just to get my way up and take Spencer place and fire these bafoons .

Make Xbox games exclusive to Xbox . Game pass cheaper and does not include day 1 games only a year later.

Remove pay to play online bullshit to attract more of the younger generation with limited budget.

Oh so many things I would change. Time to make exclusive big 3rd party deals again. Go all fucking out.

 

[Sentenza]

I'd work for your mom if the pay and working conditions were good enough.

 

[nikos]

Why not? If they had a position I was interested in, I would work for them.

Can always quit if you're unhappy.

 

[StueyDuck]

if the money is good i'd work for anyone (so long as it's legal)

pretty sure everyone knows this but... never have corporate loyalty.

a jobs a job, you can be loyal to them but they'll dump you in a heartbeat if it helps the bottom line.

 

[skyfinch]

I'll only work for Booty.

And no, I will never work for Microsoft.

 

[Perrott]

Yeah, I would totally work as part of Matt Booty's department just in order to divest funds into the development of the remaining episodes of D4: Dark Dreams Don't Die.

 

[Plies]

I'll only work for Booty.

And no, I will never work for Microsoft.

ms is a good company

 

[Shifty1897]

Microsoft scales pay dramatically based on where you live in the US. If you don't live in DC, NYC, or a west coast city, you can probably make more money doing the same job at a different company.

 

[Mortisfacio]

I wouldn't be opposed if the offer was right, but I'm personally just scared to leave my job as it is. I make good money and have built up what I believe is a good reputation within my section of my company.

Around COVID myself and a few others were offered jobs at Intel. I didn't take the offer and stayed. Those that did were laid off in Intel's job cuts. I see Xbox as a failing brand. I don't want to board a sinking ship and be out of a job.

That's pretty much where I'm at. Job satisfaction like that is not always easy to find.

 

[Fess]

If I was out of work. Of course. Probably pays well and I'd love to design a console. I would change the console UI to the 360 blades UI day 1! Creating a better PC launcher frontend would be fun too. I'm not skilled enough in programming but somehow working on a team to make a Virtual Console alternative and especially bring old arcade games to life would be interesting. What happened to Xbox Live Arcade? Needs to be revived!

Working on 1st party AAA games though… Nah. Too stressful and too much politics that take away creative freedom. Easy fix to sell more Perfect Dark copies - Make Joanna Hot! Is that allowed? Doubtful.

 

[Fess]

That's pretty much where I'm at. Job satisfaction like that is not always easy to find.

Yeah, been roughly 20 years at my workplace and going into my 50s now, I expect to work there until I retire unless they close down or robots replace me. If that happens I'll go with my teenage plan B and become a rockstar!

 

[I'm nobody]

I'd work for your mom if the pay and working conditions were good enough.

Lol not mine my mum is like Hitler she be like
Orders orders must be obayed at all time

Sometimes she get that mad she needed subtitles because I had no clue what she ranted on about

I mean what's I'm going to brain you mean FFS
I laughed she smashed a plate over my head

 

[Artistic]

Yes. I consider it a dream job.

 

[semiconscious]

thing is, i'm not sure why xbox would even hire me...

 

[SweetTooth]

Looking at Phils job, seems like the easiest thing to do ever.

The more you screw up, the higher the bonuses.

 

[Skifi28]

 

[Fabieter]

Its work why wouldn't i?

 

[Js562]

Yeah if it's good pay I'm there. Who would say no to money

 

[Jigsaah]

I don't believe I have the required skills to work at Xbox...unless they need psychology research...

I guess I could work in marketing. They seem to need some help there.

 

[Crayon]

This is one of the stranger questions I've heard asked on here.

 

[cinnamonandgravy]

only if i had:

• high level of control/influence
• strong investment portfolio, so not reliant on employment

 

[Robb]

Sure, then I can destroy them from within their own walls and get paid by them for it.

 

[Topher]

unless they need psychology research...

 

[FIREKNIGHT2029]

Yep, I'd be a scam artist like Phil and take my customers' money and run.


There's no job security working for Xbox unless you are Phil.

 

[kapshin]

Of course, I am an Xbox!

 

[Plies]

This is one of the stranger questions I've heard asked on here.

Why?

 

[Zacfoldor]

You may find this surprising because of my comments in other threads, but sure! Why not. I don't have to love my boss. In fact it is probably better not to. If I was jobless and in need of work, I'd work anywhere, why not?

 

[Spitfire098]

Of course, why wouldn't i want to look like one of these dweebs

 

[Zacfoldor]

thing is, i'm not sure why xbox would even hire me...

Even if you had zero gaming knowledge(which I'm sure isn't true or you would not be here), I mean, could you like bring coffee to Colt Eastwood or something and not piss him off doing it? You'd be hired.

This thread would have been funnier if the question was, "Would you work as Colt Eastwood's intern?"

 

[Crayon]

Why?

idk. It's so benign. It feels like I've seen every question pop up here more than once even if only once every few years, but this is a new one.

 

[Ev1L AuRoN]

I might, but if I had to introduce myself like:

Hey, my name is Auron — middle-aged, brown Latino, I have a beard, and I'm rocking a green T-shirt, my pronouns are he/him. And yes, I AM evil.

IDK if I can do that with a straight face.

 

[Trogdor1123]

Not for long I'd suspect…
