Xbox Gamerscore Team First to Feel the Ax at Microsoft
by Eric Bush

The first cut may be the deepest, repercussion of Microsoft's plan to hack 5,000 (in 2009) employees – the first major round of layoffs in the company's history – comes to us via Chris Paladino's (the Gamerscore Blog team) very sad Twitter feed. Paladino, of course, was one part of Microsoft's Gamerscore Blog team; while the we didn't know the entire team would actually lose there jobs as well.

Paladino first reported that "The Gamerscore blog team is no more" and then clarified that he was "a casualty" and looking for work. Gamerscore blogger – and former Achievement Junkie podcast host – Nelson Rodriguez (and former PlanetXbox360.com contributor) wrote, "wondering what happened to the AJ feed. Seems like it disappeared. Time to start from scratch." We've reached out to some of those affected to learn the extent of the layoffs.

Best of luck to everyone, especially Nelson (please let us know if we can help in anyway), who found themselves on the receiving end of a pink slip this week, including our friends formerly of Gamerscore Blog.

ouch...

Bad news all around this week unless your company has Nintendo in it's name somewhere.

 

Those guys wont have problems finding jobs
