Forums - Sony Discussion - Job cuts at SCEA

Lets hope that there are no more cuts because it's always sad to see people lose their jobs :/

Between 80 and 100 workers at Sony Computer Entertainment America have been made redundant as part of plans to restructure the business and reduce costs.

"These restructuring efforts are currently underway and do include the streamlining of our operations and other initiatives to further strengthen the business, reduce costs and increase operational efficiency."

"Kotaku claims to have learned from a source who was one of those laid off that management attributed the move to Sony Corp's recent losses, plus the spiralling cost of developing games for PlayStation 3. The source is also said to have confirmed that employees received a "fair" severance package."

ouch, sucks to be those employees



Yup, might have something to do with the bad economy right now.



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

Still, Sony has a fairly good reputation for looking after its employees. I'm sure they got ok redundancy packages.
