Like our colleagues in Zenimax QA, we are shocked and upset by Microsoft's latest frivolous layoffs. While nobody in One BGS was affected, we lost friends in Zenimax's other departments — friends essential in helping us build and maintain our games.
650 individuals within the gaming division at Microsoft who work tirelessly to ship and support our multi-million dollar products just lost their jobs. That’s over 2500 people this year in Microsoft’s gaming subsidiaries alone. All of our union members survived another day.
This victory would not have been possible without solidarity from our coworkers and producers from @WoWGG_CWA and the @CWAUnion/@CWACanada1 organizing and legal team.
For the first time, we are thrilled to show the world the symbol that represents the unity of all Bethesda Game Studios employees.
Designed by our very own @p4td and beloved by all, it shows the very reason for our existence: To be a force for positive change at BGS.
