Sony Online Entertainment sacks 41 |
Ó
The economy still hasn't gotten much better and the gaming industry
still isn't past the layoff limbo. The latest company to announce a
cutdown in the workforce would be Sony Online Entertainment, which has
sacked 5% of their workforce, which would number at 41 people who now
have to endure the rest of the summer in a different kind of heat.A spokesperson provided IndustryGamers with this statement:
In a move to increase operational efficiency and reduce costs, Sony Online Entertainment has eliminated 5% of its full-time workforce, equaling 41 people. SOE looks forward to continuing its leadership role in the online games industry as it celebrates the highly successful launch of Free Realms, the 10-year commemoration of its ground-breaking EverQuest franchise, and the continued performance of the companyÂ’s other games.
Layoffs are never good news, and I certainly don't want to post this to start the week. News is news, though, and good luck to those who've lost their jobs.

How could Sony do something like this! Think off all the starving women and children!
Sony is a terrible company.
/satire (*****inggoogle it)
Every company does this.
I love how they took the chance to advertise and shadow the fact that they just canned a bunch of employees.
