Their job is bug-testing Bethesda games.

Whatever they're paid to put up with that, it isn't enough.

They pay a crack team to test every game extensively, and provide detailed feedback on problems and needed changes.  They then assemble that team, and shout, "FARK YOU!" at them and drive them out of the building with broom handles, thrown staplers, and ripped down fire extinguishers

Microsoft's first labor union in the U.S. was formed by a group of video game testers who work for the company's subsidiary, ZeniMax Studios. The subsidiary consists of about 300 workers with the majority voting to join the union, making it the largest union in the video game industry in the U.S
