@AndyLunique 👋 Except before it was GameStop. I still have my Software ETC and Babbage's name tags from back then.

[Kwan Perng @kperng]

Well, I'm not longer at Bungie. It's been quite the ride. Being the Narrative Lead on The Final Shape was immensely rewarding. I don't know what lies ahead for me, but I'm feeling optimistic and looking forward to a break

Thanks to the Destiny community, and to all my colleagues

Hey all I was unfortunately got my the mass lay offs at Bungie. This shortly followed a verbal confirmation of a senior promotion, so it hits extra hard. Definitely grieving. Open to roles for character at, full time or freelance. Thanks all https://t.co/zZ3pRQfa7f

I have been impacted by the recent @Bungie layoff.

After nearly 6 years, today marks my last day.

It was an incredible run, and I’m so proud of what I worked on. I’m even prouder of the teams. The people.

Much love to everyone else effected, and I hope you land on your feet.

I'm trying to repost things from Bungie folks hit yesterday. If I miss any of you and you want a repost here or on LinkedIn, please let me know. Too many good folks posting in my feeds to catch you all. 😢 And if you want to connect on LinkedIn, please reach out.

I was affected by layoffs today. I cannot explain how soulcrushing it is to have poured my life and soul into a game that has kept me on this planet in the first place, but Bungie had other plans for me. I’m looking for opportunities in the QA space with years of experience.

[Gary Clay @damascus111]

To those affected by Bungie layoffs, please reach out to me so I can assist with finding roles. I am so sorry you are going through this. You are all so incredibly talented, and I would love to work with you again!

[Tara Voelker @LadieAuPair]

We're hiring at Netflix Games - I know of open production, QA, 3D art and engineering roles for sure.

Please feel free to reach out 💔

[ChelseaChristine @NightIceRose]

Unfortunately I was also hit by the layoffs after doing QA at bungie for the last 2 years. It is devastating leaving my dream job but I know there are more opportunities out there. If you have any openings I am definitely looking for work!

[Raine Maker @Rainemaker16]

I don’t use this a lot. But I was one of the people hit by the Bungie layoffs today. If you are in need of a Capture Manager or Runner hit me up. All the love to the Capture and Media team. They are the best. https://t.co/PjitvonZry

@tdcpresents To all my Bungie folks hit yesterday (sorry, but once you're a coworker you're always in my group whatever that is), I worked with Alex at ArenaNet a while back - if you fit the roles he listed definitely apply. There are some really good people at that studio. 💜

[Jared Berbach @darkhorse4life]

Absolutely gutted to, once again, hear bad news about @Bungie layoffs.

Happy to make any connections where I possibly can. If you are one of the affected, please take a look at this list and reach out if something seems like a fit!

@HazelMonforton You did great work and left an indelible mark.

[Ylan Salsbury @WhyLawn]

I want to take a minute to center all the incredible people caught up in this. So many amazing folks I was lucky to work with. If you need talent, there's an incredible pool of folks to look at.

[Bungie @Bungie]

This morning, we shared an important update with the Bungie team on the difficult decision to eliminate 220 roles at Bungie.

You can read the full statement below.

@xRoyaltea I'm not going to say my pleasure because I hate that this is a thing, but I'm glad that I could help in some small way.

[Ylan Salsbury @WhyLawn]

@xRoyaltea Done. Also reshared your post with the rest of my network. Let me know if I can make any introductions for you, please.

[Ylan Salsbury @WhyLawn]

@xRoyaltea Absolutely.

[Ylan Salsbury @WhyLawn]

@PrinceZexu 100%. My mom worked ridiculously hard to raise both of her kids. Everyone has issues - they might be different between 1 and 2 (or more) parent groups, but blaming single moms? That's disingenuous and insulting.

[Ylan Salsbury @WhyLawn]

I generally avoid posting about politics, but wow much respect for how @PeteButtigieg comports himself in this interview segment. This is the kind of political discourse I want to see consistently in America. Calm, polite, and sticking to the point you're making.

Much respect.

[chyea ok @chyeaok]

Pete Buttigieg on Fox is like watching a snake charmer. He just does not let them guide the conversation at all.
