    I’m worried that after years of layoffs, they have become a custom. It feels like companies were deliberating laying off people for longer before that, avoiding bad news. Nowadays, ‘everyone’ is doing it. And nothing prevents them from over hiring and firing in large amounts over and over again.

    FFS. I think at this point we need an AI bot here just to just translate all this corporate speak back into normal human language.

      Sony is laying off 900 people from the part of the company that makes PlayStation games, and layoffs are continuing to happen across the broader gaming / tech industry. It’s not just a Sony thing.
