Yeah, absolutely none of that blame is on the artists. The studio gives them incredible amounts of work with impossible deadlines.

If you tell your contractor to build an entire house in a week, then don't blame them when your walls are made of cardboard

But also should blame the CEO types of those VFX companies for taking on said impossible deadlines. They're also at fault for just piling up a bunch of shit on their employees and intentionally taking a low bid in order to get the prestige for the work.

The thing is it's self-selecting. VFX companies that have ethical working environments can't compete with the price point of the sweat shops and go out of business. The number of workers who want to be on the field is just too high.

That's why workers rights either via unions or law is so important.
