Lots of anti-corp stuff here and trust me I get it. But people at Bungie have been there for a decade or more. It’s apparently a very welcoming environment. So much so that people would come out as gay or trans to their coworkers before their own family members because they knew their coworkers would be more accepting. When you have that kind of community with that kind of longevity losing it sucks no matter what the reason, even if that reason is upper management is incompetent.

Speaking of upper management incompetence though, I recently interviewed at Bungie for one of their many open positions. I made it all the way to the final interview stages before they closed the req without filling it. All the other reqs closed up too. And now this. To go from hiring like crazy to layoffs reaks of incompetence.
