They’re about to cut another 3,000 jobs next week and here’s who’s getting hit:
– Xbox: EVERY division
– Sales org: expect hefty cuts
– Marketing: chopped up too
– Europe ops: pulled out entirely!!
This comes just weeks after:
– 6,000 layoffs in May
– 8,000 more announced this month
-305 out of WA
Ya’ll if this is right – that’s 17,000+ jobs gone in 60 days with more likely coming. They already said performance ones are coming.
– Xbox is being hollowed out
– Hardware sales are down
– Execs are pivoting to Windows
– “Next-gen” Xbox is now basically a PC with a controller
Can we call this for what it is-
Shrinkage. Carnage.
Regardless of the final # (rumored 3K)- it is confirmed- a round of “major layoffs” is due next week.
From my inside sources- With some of the upcoming layoffs – managers will be briefed on 26-27, and layoffs between 2nd and 4th of July.
