minus-squareslouching_employer@lemmy.onelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up10·edit-21 year agoNo, the article says that Epic Games “laid off 16% of its [Epic Games’] workforce, or 830 employees”. I believe Bandcamp was ~120 people total – so 60 laid off.
minus-squareAmju WolflinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·1 year agoAhh my bad, can’t read apparently. That amount of employees sounds way more reasonable, even if I feel like they weren’t doing much.
minus-squaresugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up3·1 year agoJust think of half of your company getting laid off, that’s going to be noticable regardless of the total number of employees.
minus-squareAmju Wolflinkfedilinkarrow-up1·edit-21 year agoOh yeah no question about that. My point was just that I don’t understand why you’d need so many people for such a fairly simple project - with such a narrow scope; but that’s moot since they didn’t have that many people after all.
