Activision Blizzard Begins Cutting 8 Percent of Its Workforce

Ah the old myth. Glad to see anti-labour propaganda still holds lots of influence.

You know that companies fire unionised employees all the time, right?

You just need an actual reason to do it.

"I want a bigger bonus on my $13,751.02 an hour job." Isn't generally considered an actual reason by humans.

Crazy stuff this "communism".


$13,751.02 per hour is what Kotick actually makes.

Oh please. Want to change from a 7 speed transmission to an 8 speed transmission on a UAW controlled assembly line? You have to renegotiate with the union.

Unions can serve a useful purpose in some situations, but in most instances, and especially in government unions, they are an impediment to quality.

And your precious unions blindly support the open border democrats, screwing every American worker forced to compete with illegal (you know, SCAB) labor who undercut their wages, especially in construction, and many low skilled jobs.

A genuine communist would be more loyal to their fellow countrymen than the scum you praise who are leading unions today.

Thanks! I needed the laugh. They ought to hire to lead the team. You further tie it in to MS Store and incorporate the hidden minesweeper level.

Let's not derail into the black miasma known as politics.

Like I saw up thread I wonder how much of this is due to the Bungie break up?

I saw a thread a while back about blizzard aggressively downsizing game masters and the like.

I'M Blizzard would be best served pulling the Bungie cord themselves.
