Francesca Palamara, Art Producer on Fortnite at Epic Games got laid off Worked on 21 seasons working with concept arts

One last thing - I’ve never been laid off. Ever. I’ve had steady work since I was 22 years old. I’ve never had a chance to just “help out.” If you’ve got a project that needs help, let me know. I’ve got free time now, so time to give back, make new friends, and do cool things.

@RiotMocolatte Thank you 💙

@cyaaato So sorry Cat 😔💜

I was laid off today. I spent the last 2 years as the only UI Engineer on Festival, implementing new features like Local Multi-player, Festival Menu, Calibration, and new game modes. I dove into focus and input issues, often helping other teams with their issues as well.

@AlexMuirQA I'm so sorry. You are brilliant at QA. Your insight into processes, platforms, and game development were always so impactful on Festival. It was great working with you and I hope we get to work together again soon

Battle stage was the first feature I ever Owned and now seeing it gone sucks but being laid off too from being able to ever make Festival what is could be hurts even more. Working with Harmonix was a dream come true for me. I'll never forget it and I will always miss it. <3

We are hiring for a number of roles at SEGA careers.sega.com

@CryssyTV Thank you 💙 I saw a position on WoW Classic I am going to apply to so maybe we will get to work together!

@cyaaato Cat, I’m so sorry :( let me know if I can do anything to help ❤️

@kellyk_lly Thank you 💙

@cyaaato I'm so sorry Cat

Realizing they spent $450 billion on AI and all it did was fire millions of people, make everything worse, and add zero growth to the economy.

This is so fucked up and disgusting.

Forcing teachers to out LGBTQ students to their parents puts kids’ lives at risk. Some will die. Some will get kicked out & become homeless. Some will be sent to conversion therapy. The choice to come out to one’s parents belongs only to the kid & is no one else’s damn business.

You might think what’s happening in Kansas doesn’t affect you because you’re not trans, but the same government telling us you need ID to vote, is showing us how easy it is for them to take our ID. Wake up.

It's important to stay informed about what the government is doing to trans people because what they are allowed to do to one group they will figure out how to do to all. Trans Kansas residents are losing their licenses with no grace period to get new ones.

This is an attack on human rights. Kansas is stripping trans people of their drivers licence unless they change it to the wrong gender. This will make it so they can’t drive and can’t vote. Get loud. If they can take rights away from trans people, they can take them from you.

Layoffs ruin lives. They crush self-esteem; they ravage financial security; they sabotage careers; they take and they take and they take. The video game industry has laid off an estimated 30,000+ people since the beginning of 2022. It has shattered 30k+ lives. It must change.
