so, enough time has passed now for me to talk about why i decided to leave Blizzard. a mixed year with great teammates, but a management that mistreated, lied to me, gaslit me, gave me a fake promotion, and HR that refused to help.
buckle up friendos. 💪

I've been impacted by recent layoffs at Microsoft/Blizzard and am actively seeking my next opportunity in cinematic and gameplay development.
I have 13 years of diverse experience, specializing in keyframe animation for creatures/bipeds and motion capture pipeline, I also have experience in managing and leading teams.
Any assistance or connections would be greatly appreciated!

Evening all. Unfortunately my role at Activision Blizzard is likely to be impacted alongside other members of our team, but I'll still be around for a bit while options are explored. In the meantime if anyone knows of any CM roles available I'd be keen to take a look. Cheers! 💙

Sledgehammer Games is going back to remote work as they find a new office, a move many employees have called a "slap in the face" after many workers have been forced to quit due to Return to Office mandates.

So glad to see that people here can still be awful to others, lucky for me idaf and I love the block button. But it's been fun to watch.

Blizzard and Riot have a lot of things in common. They're both "player-first" companies, they both explore lots of genres, and they both asked many staff to come back to the office, then held mass layoffs.
This week's newsletter is about remote work: bloomberg.com/news/newslette…

To those impacted by layoffs, check out the art and animation job google doc. It's a very active collection of job postings in our industry. I hope this helps. I'm sorry you've been hit so hard <3 docs.google.com/spreadsheets…
I feel like this just really. Really. Shows who he really is. Don't let this be forgotten, that this is how a leader exited the company, while so many of his employees are crying and broken and scared.
Fuck off, Mike.

It's incredible to me that there were people out there rooting for this merger because they thought it would somehow "benefit" workers and gamers.
Mergers destroy jobs, ruin lives, reduce consumer choice, and make our economy less free and less fair. Always.

Tracy isn't on twitter anymore, but I got her permission to post on her behalf. Tracy was unfortunately impacted by the Riot layoffs. If you are looking for a seasoned Producer who has worked on a multitude of products at Blizzard and Riot, reach out:

If Overwatch development slows again because of the layoffs, I do not want to see a single soul complaining at the devs. Not a single one.
Direct your disappointment to the greedy higher ups that get to live without fear of losing their jobs

After the 2018 layoffs they said that was it.
When they restructured APAC in 2020 they said that was it.
After this they will say “that’s it.”
Don’t believe them. And don’t give them a minute or a dollar more than they deserve.

Unfortunately, the Survival project I was producing for at Blizzard was cancelled and I am a part of the layoffs. I genuinely hope my coworkers, and other folks impacted today land on their feet soon.
I really wish that you all got to see what we were making.

Well, unfortunately I've been laid off.
If anyone has an open position for a Community Manger (or adjacent), I'm looking!
I've spent the last 3 years running player facing comms for CoD: Warzone! I've got references too!
Gonna tackle my resume after a short break! 🥲
