I’m amazed they’d layoff ESO workers, it’s been a Zenimax cashcow for years.

TBH I kind of blame the state of US education on this one.
/>Businessman read book about make money: spend less while make more.
/>Businessman make employees do more tasks, higher productivity
/>Businessman hire robot contractor to do job of employees
/>Businessman layoff staff, condense departments, liquidate many assets
/>Businessman hire firm to prevent unionization
/>Businessman products not selling anymore?!
/>Businessman can’t fill new positions?! Nobody want to work!
/>Businessman initiate bankruptcy filing, ask courts to delay so businessman can earn 300 Million USD bonus if turn situation around.
/>Businessman am smart, read only the best book, follow to letter.

How do we live in a world where being a major financial boon for your company isn’t enough, this is bullshit.

The Excel Spreadsheet is sacrosanct. A bean counter predicted that you should make more money than last year, and if you don’t, you are worthless.

“NUMBER NOT BIG ENOUGH! MAKE NUMBER BIGGER!!!” - some directors and chief executives.

But it could be a bigger cash cow if we didnt have to pay people money. Better to apply for some h1-b visas and get some proper slaves like we had back in the day.

Maybe in other industries but that strategy has never translated well in Gaming.

Longterm is for suckers - nu management is fast and loose - they break things - preferable good work environment.
