Cloud Imperium Mandates 7-Day Workweek for Star Citizen Developers

The company enforces extended work hours to meet deadlines for the upcoming CitizenCon event, sparking concerns over employee welfare.

Cloud Imperium Games has instructed employees to work seven days a week until October 19 to prepare for CitizenCon in Manchester, England.
The mandate includes working on traditionally remote workdays and weekends, with breakfast and lunch provided during weekend office days.
Employees will receive time off in lieu (TOIL) for extra hours, but only if they remain with the company until the release of Squadron 42.
The internal emails highlight ongoing concerns about the company's workplace culture, including previous allegations of a toxic environment.
As compensation for the extended work period, Cloud Imperium has offered October 21 as a free holiday for employees.
