We’re just about through the first month of 2024 and already we’ve seen thousands of people being laid off from various companies within the tech and gaming space. Recently Microsoft has culled roughly 1900 people from their positions. Hitting many areas within the gaming section of Microsoft, Blizzard, and Activision. These cuts affected many departments that oversaw some key areas, like customer service, Overwatch artists and so much more. It’s kind of boggling that companies would do this as a measure to ensure a stronger quarter, which will keep the shareholders happy. The people who depend on the jobs are far from being happy and rightfully so as they face a job market that also has been hit with layoffs and hiring freezes. I can only hope that those affected will be able to find a new position in a different company.
Bellular breaks a lot of this down.
