“GOG regularly adapts its structure to its strategy and ongoing projects, sometimes this means eliminating certain roles — as was the case recently.”

Yeah, but firing 30% of your entire contract workforce reveals that you don't give a flying fuck about sustaining the lifespan of the storefront and prefer to pad the executives golden parachutes from the stock valuation.

perhaps - i didn’t read the article, but going by your comment: if it’s your contract workforce rather than full time then sometimes you just want to transition from expensive “temporary” employees to permanent positions

No permanent positions were created or filled, if you read the article. The article also says you need to PM me your credit card info. Don't worry about reading shit for yourself anywhere, just believe what we say about anything in the comments without question so that you dont need to formulate an independent opinion.

i hold no particular belief about this particular case either way; i was just replying to your comment about contract workforces
