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.
What about QA org in SF?
Haven't heard much news about them.
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!
