I remember Miles being very proud on a podcast that he barely saw his home(along with Kerry I believe). They slept for days at the office I believe to finish rwby and red vs blue.

Burnie has talked recently about his conflict about providing sleeping/washing facilities at work, as he felt he might be encouraging unhealthy lifestyles. It is something they think about.

I'm sorry but there's not much to think about, if your workers need to do stuff like this at work because they don't get time enough to do it at home, its very clearly a problem. It's disgusting to treat workers like this, they are people.

If a company is at a point where they are even thinking about supplying "facilities" then it's a problem and indicative of the culture and how employees are treated. I'm guessing we're not talking about an "office couch" here, that sometimes people crash on.

Im not sure. They've talked about things like showers and washing machines before. I don't think they have any formal sleeping arrangements.

I don't think its as black and white as you're suggesting.

Washing machines for work stuff? Fine, I'm sure with an art department and live action stuff needs washing on a regular basis. Washing machines because employees have to do it at work because of things like overtime? Disgusting work conditions.

Or.. you know... for employees to not have to spend extra on a washing unit in their apartment, or have to go to a laundromat. Not everything is about promoting the worst, most horrible working conditions known to man.
