Every layoff article is exactly the same. I understand people are disgruntled, and upset, over the situation. I get that. I've been there. I have been in the room. However, every time someone talks with laid off employees, they all claim the secrecy is some big conspiracy to do...something? There is no conspiracy. This is how layoffs work because: 1) They are generally kept at the highest level until they come down. Section managers often don't even know until the last moment. Because of the privacy of the process, everyone keeps operating like nothing is happening. 2) The sudden conference calls, and / or private conversations are by design because that is the best way to do it. It needs to be with those individuals, direct, and by the book. Layoffs don't involve some grand ceremony where the company tells all your friends, and everyone sits around to discuss it. Stop with the conspiracy theory nonsense. You can be upset / angry / disappointed with a layoff, but there isn't something else going on. It's a layoff. Furthermore, if you're still at EA, and you don't like your job, go find another job. You are responsible for your own well being. If EA isn't supporting your needs, it is YOUR responsibility to find a job that works for you. verticalslice.news/ea-worker…
