I built a game for @FourFourTwo – all you have to do is select an XI that has scored 442 goals in Premier League history.
Lot of work went into this: should you keep you occupied for the long international break (or at the very least, your lunch break)

And why am I so concerned about this? Because I know what it feels like to be on the receiving end of bullying. I know what it feels like to be belittled, undermined and made to question your own worth. No one should have to endure that in any workplace.
I expect better from an industry that so often presents itself as progressive, compassionate and open. We should be setting the standard for how people are treated, not making excuses when they say they've been hurt.
If the publishing industry wants to attract and retain the very best people, it cannot simply talk about wellbeing when it's convenient. It has to foster cultures where people feel valued, supported and safe enough to speak up without fear. That isn't just good leadership. It's essential for the future of our industry.
