Quite unfortunate to read about it this morning. https://www.theverge.com/2024/2/27/24084494/sony-playstation-layoffs-2024 https://www.ign.com/articles/sony-announces-significant-playstation-layoffs-affecting-900-staff-london-studio-to-close #layoff
Wait till they announce record profits. When will this madness stop
Don't think it ever will 😔 so much livelihoods at stake
Yes Block, net income goes up when outgoings reduce.
Any idea what all teams affected?
Sorry to everyone affected. I hate seeing the gaming industry so hit hard by this.
It's extremely heartbreaking. Praying for those affected.
Any impact at the San Mateo location? I am currently interviewing for a position.
Was there a formal update from any org? Haven’t heard anything yet
shit that's quite sad tbh. I thought Japanese companies were safe from layoffs
Did anyone hear what was the severance offering and was there any notice period?
Rumor it was 2 weeks/1 year worked but can't confirm as i wasn't impacted thankfully. They cut communication with those were laid off naturally and it's a touchy subject to ask right away.
In the UK it will be something like that. We have very little rights here.
Yeah, brutal, the games industry is a lot more tighter knit than the rest of tech so whenever things like this happen there's a good chance you personally know people affected, like I do!
