I don't understand the layoffs either, they seemed completely arbitrary? Either way, good luck finding new gigs. Though, echoing others in this thread, it probably won't be a problem for any of you =)

 

Not sure about other countries but it makes financial sense for the companies to only hire for short periods in BC Canada so they don't incur long term costs of retaining an employee (benefits etc). In fact a lot of employees here are technically consultants. 

 

It's like the film industry only we dont have a decent game union that ensures if work is temporary the pay is high enough to survive through the dry seasons. 

 

 

Exactly! Always be prepared for this shit, cos the axe may one day come for you.

 

Best of luck for you guys, not that you're gonna need it. Grab the opportunity to rest for a bit, I know finishing up Infinite wasn't easy. You'll be fine, this is just a minor bump in your careers. <3

You guys just reminded me to update my resume.

 

But like the others said, these things can only make you stronger if you look at it in a positive way.

Maybe not worth writing in. But I'm doing a whole months work as a level designer consultant at Space Ape.

 

Aaand done. Phew. That one month of work this year has earned me a vacation.

Hey guys, I know I'm not in some AAA studio like most you pros are, but I thought if I'd still get myself on the list (finally, after years!). I work at Grand Cru (http://grandcrugames.com/) as a Level Designer. Could someone add me? Thanks.
