Earlier this year, James—who goes by James—saw the message while spending time with his family.
He had spent over ten years as a game designer at one of the largest video game studios in the UK. He had dreamed of this profession since he was nine years old and it was a job he loved. However, he had been concerned lately.
He could see pals in the gaming industry getting fired all around him.
Thinking quickly, what steps could I take? Because there were so many layoffs at the moment, I wasn’t going to be the only one looking for work. They all took place simultaneously.
He attended the conference and got confirmation of his worst suspicions. The CEO of the company said that about 25% of the studio’s workforce would be let go. Among them was James.
