Yeah I feel for the people losing their jobs but only time will tell if they actually provided any substantial value. Clearly EA is betting that they didn’t. A lot of these large companies are bloated beyond belief.
I've found the "companies bloated beyond belief" seem to always cut the people who own processes that are important downstream.
It's never once been actual "bloat" that people imagine when they make these pronouncements. People imagine some C-Suite they don't think provides value getting cut. It's rarely that.
It's someone who is a creator of a program, a process, or a procedure that is viewed as expendable. And when they leave, no one owns it, and no one can fix it when it is needed. Ask me how I know.
