Glam Turns Gloomy - Games Takes Another Hit as Microsoft Lays Off 1,900

 This has been a bad turned horrible week for employment in the once-glam games niche. Riot Games had axed 530. Now, Microsoft, following its acquisition of Activision Blizzard, is laying off 1,9000, reports CNBC.

The reasons Microsoft gives for terminating 9% of its gaming employees include:

New Strategy

Cost Efficiency

Redundancies Resulting from the Merger.

More layoffs in gaming are probable. The Game Development Conference survey found that 56% anticipated more cuts in 2024.

In my intuitive coaching I am picking up a flight to safety - that is, non-glam - in how people are focused on earning a good living. The hunger to orbit in cool kinds of work is in decline. 

Complimentary confidential intuitive coaching session. No pressure. Maybe even some lightness of being. Please contact Jane Genova for an appointment (text/phone 203-468-8579 or email at janegenova374@gmail.com)
