Layoffs at Frontier Developments (UK) and Machinima

Sucks read about it over at TCE. These just keeps on piling up every year around this time

Yeah Frontier does this as it is the legal maximum they can let go without having to provide work related reviews. Basically they don't want people to reach 2 years in the company as they then have to pay much more to make you redundant. Its pretty bullshit. This is the 4th or 5th time they have done this in 2 years.

Sounds like a great company!

Its companies like that who doesn't last long.

Frontier have been around for like 20 years. So don't think that's an accurate measure of anything.

wow that's kind of shady, considering all the good press they are getting over the Elite remake etc.
