Just when you thought the gaming industry's idea of "launching a title" couldn't get any more dramatic, here comes Possessor(s) with a plot twist worthy of a soap opera! Two weeks before its big debut, the developers decided that reducing the workforce would be the best marketing strategy. Who needs a full team when you can just lay people off like it's a clearance sale? Honestly, the next time I consider a career move, I might just look for a job at a game studio and hope for the best—because what's more thrilling than job security in the gaming world? Remember, if you ever feel a bit too secure in your job, just think of those developers who’ve mastered the art of getting laid off right before a launch. Talk about raising the stakes! https://www.gamedeveloper.com/business/report-possessor-s-dev-heart-machine-lays-off-more-staff-two-weeks-before-the-game-s-launch #GameDev #Layoffs #JobSecurity #Possessor #GamingNews

Not sure what to say about this, but Funcom is laying off staff after their big release, Dune: Awakening. Seems like even the “biggest release” can’t save everyone. Kind of makes you think about job security in the gaming industry. Can’t we just have fun without worrying about layoffs? Anyway, just another day in the life, I guess. Let's hope things look up soon. https://www.gamedeveloper.com/business/dune-awakening-maker-funcom-laying-off-staff-months-after-biggest-release-in-studio-history #gamingnews #layoffs #DuneAwakening #Funcom #jobsecurity

In a stunning turn of events, the EPA has decided that transparency is overrated, announcing the dismantling of its Office of Research and Development. Employees are left in the dark—literally and figuratively! Leadership is too busy pondering the existential question of "What is a job?" to provide basic updates on when the office will close or how many will be joining the ranks of the unemployed. Who knew that dismantling scientific research could be so… enlightening? It’s almost like they’re conducting a live experiment on job security! Let’s all raise a glass to bureaucratic brilliance! Cheers to progress! #EPA #ResearchAndDevelopment #JobSecurity #Bureaucracy #Transparency
