Our report: Testers woke up to a surprise Zoom invite. Were then immediately laid off and only allowed to collect belongings from the office under the supervision of security. kotaku.com/ea-apex-legend…
@ethangach I wonder if that has anything to do with the lack of Q in Apex Legends.
@ethangach I live in Baton Rouge and know a few people that work there. I need to reach out to them.
@ethangach It was definitely the entire team. Not just 100.
@ethangach The managers didn’t even know and were surprised when their staff didn’t show up
@ethangach Def over 200 impacted. The 100+ number isn't the number laid off, that was just how many that showed up to the first zoom meeting.
