Their fiscal report is next week so yeah... It's starting to feel like the penny pincher CFOs are taking over lately. Short term goals being the focus. I can understand from a purely heartless business perspective, why a company would lay off after a merger certain overlapping positions, but the COD development team layoffs are completely baffling me. I can't even from a heartless perspective figure out how it makes sense. |
Its really not heartless, its what actually has to be done. While people see "X number of people layoff" what they forget is that all of these people will be given very generous packages. Just from my experience when I was layoff about 4 years ago from a company I worked for 15 years. I received over 39K and 6 months free medical benefits. I got another job within the same month and pocketed the that money without losing a beat.
If devs got cut, there could be a very good reason probably on the line of performance. Not all devs are made equal so you do have to realize that.
I am not saying everyone will be able to find new jobs that fast but there are a lot of places hiring for all the positions that were let go, its just not going to always be in the tech or game sector. Most people who got layed off like me used their money to startup new companies and business you name it. Its not the end of the world and in most cases it probably going to be the best thing for a lot of those people.
