Microsoft engineered this so that it looked the least bad optically while at the same time still committing a slaughter, all so that Satya Nadella can still dick around with more useless AI horseshit. Fuck him and fuck Microsoft.
Proud to announce our HARDSHIP FUND: uvw-cwa.org/hardship-fun... If you've been recently laid off and need support, we got you.
I’m tired of reposting this. ❤️🩹 here if anyone needs help with job search, keeping organized, etc. Please, take care of yourselves. 🖤

Bungie employees deserved so, so much better. Fuck this.
Layoffs are bad for the industry, and anyone celebrating them is an unmitigated piece of shit.
very little to say that folks haven't already said already. nothing but love to everyone at bungie except for the handful at the top, whom i wish a very "how do you sleep at night".

Game Workers Conference@gameworkerscon.bsky.social · 2mo agoCarolyn Jong, on how employers are, in fact, the ones benefitting the most when gaming audiences direct their anger towards vulnerable game workers, and how that produces a chilling effect that can undermine organizing efforts.
Thank you to everyone who tuned into our first ever Game Workers Conference! Onto next year! Conference streams are still freely available Day 1: www.youtube.com/live/CFF97Oj... Day 2: www.youtube.com/live/3e1yOhV... And please fill out our feedback form: gameworkersconference.org/feedback-form
As you're watching today's talks, here are some common themes to be thinking about, courtesy of Emma Kinema "I'd encourage us to be thinking about the need to form connection and solidarity across workplaces, disciplines, issues, and borders."
We're about to kick off Day 2 of the Game Worker's Conference in 10 minutes! Come join the stream here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=3e1y... Did you know--our intro animation was made entirely through union members volunteering their time?
It tends to be rare for workers in the games industry to receive secondary payments or royalties. But for many performers, secondary payments are far more commonplace. Why can't this be the case for ALL game workers? Really insightful to hear Sarah and Zeke's thoughts on this.
Those spanish game workers are way ahead of us, we gotta catch up!
Game Workers Conference@gameworkerscon.bsky.social · 3mo agoWe had a great talk from Jenny and Marina from CSVI (recorded in Spanish!) about the specifics of organizing in the Spanish videogame industry
couldn't be us. Also, one of the cool things about worker led conferences is we don't need to run ads so we can do cool things like shouting out our fellow organizing workers at Wizards of the Coast
