[QUOTE="kuwanger, post: 8512164, member: 45602"] The problem I see is we have enough details. The revenue was short ~$150 million of expected so they're pushing a $150 million restructuring which includes mass lay-off of 800 people. It'd be a whole other thing if through the year they were laying off people here and there--even mass lay-offs--which were tied to under-performance. When it's done this way, it's clearly just being done to appease Wall Street. Whether those 800 people, being marketing and esports, are "useless" for the company? I wouldn't trust them to do a good job actually knowing precisely because it's a mass lay-off. So, some are likely useless. Others, they're just throwing under the bus. PS - And to the point of lay-off != fired, if the point of lay-off is to let go "useless" people, who wants to hire a "useless" person? It can be seen as a more gentle thing, and some companies may understand it as such, but if your company "lays-off" people to avoid having a scene about "firing" a person, would you not presume most other companies do the same thing? So, a lot of time it can be a similar black mark to being fired. It heavily depends on the circumstance and the potential companies hiring. [/QUOTE]
