Layoffs Hit EA Tiburon?

[DNMHIII]

Payroll is the #1 controllable expense in most businesses and the best way to prop 3rd quarter earnings on paper is to cut expenses. This method of propping up profits will work as long as investment firms look past the labor trends of a company and continue to put their clients into that product.

Such a scam

If 4% of a workforce has to wait for designers/creative whatever people to decide what's in next year's iteration before they produce it, I'd lay them off too. For instance, QA testers - contractors, laid off , generally invited back after 3 to 4 months for the next year's game. I know that's what EA does, at least with testers.

Isn't this the norm? I'm not sure why this is really news?

It's really not news Take Two, Ubisoft, Activision, Square Enix, Sony etc. have all had layoffs in the last few years.

Sad to hear anyone losing their job due to a layoff, which typically means it wasn't work performance that cost them their job, but rather downsizing in the company.

Hopefully those who were laid off bounce back on their feet sooner rather than later and their families aren't exposed to any struggle.
