WTF LMAOO

After almost 8 years, my time at Epic Games has come to an unexpected end. It’s hard to put into words what an incredible journey it has been, but I’ll try in this 🧵

I lost my dream job today in these layoffs. If anyone can help with leads for QA work or even just wants to chat and catch up, please reach out. My dms are open. My whole team was impacted. Look out for them, too. What a horrible day.

@evankinney ❤️

today has been a whirlwind of emotions. thank you, genuinely, to everyone that’s reached out to me today (a former coworker even sent me a milkshake). i’m still going through them all (and will continue to do so). reading how much you all appreciate my work has been so surprising and uplifting on such a shitty day. i’m really, really going to miss making cool stuff happen for our players. that was the guiding principle behind everything i ever did. seeing how many of my former colleagues are as confused as i am about my departure is definitely validating too. i’m very grateful (and thankful) to also already have many studio leads and recruiters reaching out about roles they’d like me for. i’m gonna go grab a beer and watch the rest of the canes game. 💚🦖

I was part of the Epic layoffs today. I worked as a Art Outsource Lead overseeing Fortnite Lego minifigs. I worked on everything from K-Pop DH, to huge streamers and minifigs for the latest Superman movies. If you’re looking for a Outsource Lead, Lead Or Char artist let me know!

Well, it had to happen at some point. I have just been laid off from #epicgames I really enjoyed my time working there, but it’s time to find my next adventure. If you know of something, just let me know.

I’m a part of the layoffs today at Epic, closing out four years working on Fortnite. It’s been the privilege of my early career being a part of this team. I’m proud of what we built, and grateful for every person I got to build it with. Fortnite will always be special to me.

Hey y'all... Ya so I got laid off too from Fortnite Festival. All I've ever wanted to do was make cool games for people that help them feel a little bit better or happier in their day... It's so sad that it's this hard to do just that.

unfortunately i've been impacted by the epic layoffs today. i'm doing ok, and know i will be ok.

WE ARE SO BACK (TO BEING LAID OFF)!!! if anyone has any QA opportunities, let me know!

Truly enjoyed my time working here. This felt unnecessary. The best thing to do is look forward - if anyone has any leads of openings in QA please let me know. I have tons of experience working in cross-discipline environments, supporting features from concept to shipping.

I was laid off today after 2 years Epic Games. If you enjoyed the maps in C7S2 or C6S3, The Simpsons mini-season map, or IP collabs like KPOP Demon Hunters, Superman, South Park, Doja Cat, and more, I was the Lead Environment Art and/or Environment Concept Producer for them.

Won the wrong lottery today. I was also impacted by this. What an amazing team we were still building though, these last few months had been truly special 🫡

Unfortunately I was affected by the layoffs today. This is a lot to process for me so I will take it easy for the rest of the week while I think of next moves. Sigh I weep for this industry.

I’m one of the folks impacted by the Epic Games / Psyonix layoffs today. I loved the communities I worked with and the people I got to support, that part meant the most. ❤️ Still processing... time to breathe and look ahead.

Unfortunately I’ve been effected by the layoffs at Epic. If anyone has any job recommendations, especially work from home, I’d greatly appreciate it. I was asset implementation, looking for similar or art roles. Portfolio in replies. Thank you!

Got hit by this, as did many of my super talented buds in QA. If anyone in the Seattle area is hiring, ya boy needs help. And if you know of work in Cary, I'd be happy to pass it on to other folk

If anyone has any leads, let me know 🫡

@ShiinaBR ok

Well.... @PoorlyAgedStuff

Support affected devs to them find new opportunities instead of just doomposting & making memes about the situation And support the unaffected devs too because it's not easy to get through things like this mentally.. The affected devs were also their friends for years
