It never ends. XBox

[FIREPOWER 710]

I’m sure the employees over at Activision can’t wait to be acquired and then laid off 

 

 

Waiting for lemshits to tell me how these layoffs are a good thing for Activision. MS laying off staff at Bathesda and 343 while fighting in court to purchase ABK for $70 Billion.

If MS ruins Bethesda in any way, I will find Phil Sphincter and skin him alive.

5% of the workforce is hardly a big deal and pretty standard across a lot of tech firms atm.

LOL you just made a thread last week saying that 7% of Samsung's profit "is a major loss"

 

 

And now 5% is hardly a big deal

7% of profits is a big deal. Laying off 5% of the work force (increasing profits) is not. 
 

Again, it shows you’re a customer service rep and nothing higher.

If you work at Activision right now, you better be looking for a job.

[TLHBO 2,160]

Remember all the lemshits at reeeeeetardera pretending they wanted the aqqusition to go through so Activision/Blizzard workers would have better working conditions? how about they beg MS to cancel the buy out and use the 70 billion to keep these 10,000 workers in a job at a time when mass layoffs are making it harder to find enployment in the tech sector?

 

No? I'm betting none of them care about the workers anymore

No, you can't have one and the other be true.

 

The simplest explanation is: you're an idiot who wouldn't be trusted with handling the accounting to a lemonade stand.

Yes, yes I can. They are entirely different things. 
 

One results in the company having less money, the other results in a company having more money. 
 

Again, you working as a customer service rep is showing here. Stuck at the same shitty job for years and years, looking for new opportunities, but no one would take a 40 year old with no skills or talents. lol

 MS is fighting in court right now to buy Activision for $70 Billion and at the same time laying off 10,000 employees including workers at Bathesda and 343. 

 

I'm sure the FTC and EU are looking at this and noting how it would be great for MS to consolidate the industry.

 

 

These are the retards the morons like Ghostz and Lemij want to run the industry 

 

 

Bathesda hasn't even launched Starfield yet and MS is already laying people off.

Because you're an idiot who doesn't know anything,.

 

Which is why everybody laughs at you.

 

LOL dumbass can't even get a phone line without his uncle, and he's trying to tell us about business numbers

[Quad Damage 1,717]

" Specifically, layoffs hit The Coalition (which is responsible for the Gears franchise as well as an upcoming new IP), 343 Industries (which has been working on ongoing support for Halo Infinite), and Bethesda (working on the upcoming Starfield). "

You just said a 7% profit loss is the same thing as a 5% RIF.  
 

The Help Desk worker can’t help his way out of this one

 

He’s getting owned everywhere on SW today, even the group chat

yep. microsoft is poison for the industry.

 

they've been buying studios and ruining everything about them for decades now, it started with Rare.

 

can't think of a single Ip that's improved after coming under MS control.
