https://kotaku.com/activision-blizzard-employees-brace-for-massive-layoffs-1832488999 Looks like we’re getting hit. I’m not positive if I’m impacted or not. Any advice?
Embrace the layoffs. This is an opportunity to get some well deserved time off before the next career move
^this.
You can get time off if you are well set financially : with a family to sustain and mortgage to pay it may not be possible for everyone!
Update resume. Now.
That Now is really powerful. Made me think about updating mine even if M in no trouble.
Hi Larry!
This is the never ending cycle of making profits, squeezing employees to extract more profits and the end results always turn out the same. The public gets spooked, recession and resurgence. When will we learn new tricks?
Always a good idea to cover some leet code problems every day
Is this practice common in Netflix? Because there’s no job security?
Leetcoding every day ? Is that a life worth living ?
Also, never take it personally. Someone from the top makes a decision — usually finance-related — and the proverbial shit rolls downhill. If the unfortunate happens, do as Bruce Lee says: “Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless — like water. Now you put water in a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.”
Update your resume and don't blame yourself if you're impacted. Good luck
OP where are you based and what's your title and YOE. I have a few roles to fill.
More immediately, download your W-2 and any other forms you may need (benefit information for the next few weeks, work authorization, etc.), back up any personal files you want to save, make sure there’s nothing you’ll be sad about losing if you get cut off Monday morning at 8 AM
Oh God, this. If you ever tell a company that you're leaving for a rival, a security guard will typically come over to watch you pack and escort you out same day.
The people who have already been let go were asked to leave immediately, and facilities is packing/mailing their things to them.
hopefully you'll get a decent severance unlike some dumpy places that give 1 week only
