Another round of cuts today - anyone else got the calendar invite?

Woke up to the usual ominous meeting invite that everyone has been dreading. It’s August 5th and here we are again. Management loves to talk about 'realignment' and 'strategic growth' in the company-wide emails, but it’s just the same old story. Third year in a row, same script. I’ve been here long enough to see the culture erode into nothing but spreadsheet management and KPIs. They cut deep into the dev teams today, and honestly, the morale is completely dead. How are we supposed to ship anything when we lose a chunk of the studio every twelve months? If you’re still in, watch your back. If you’re out, I hope you find something better than this revolving door. Does anyone have actual numbers on how many were hit this time? Leadership is being predictably tight-lipped as usual.

It’s honestly sickening to watch the same cycle repeat every single year. They hide behind corporate jargon like 'strategic realignment' while the people who actually build the games are treated as disposable line items. The leadership team seems completely disconnected from the reality of the damage they’re doing to the studio's culture and long-term potential. At this point, it feels like they’re just burning the house down to keep the shareholders warm for one more quarter. I’m sorry you’re going through this again; the lack of stability is truly draining for everyone involved.
