1st Gear: It’s insane that people are willing to pay 4 figures for a car payments.

Just having Riccitiello on board as CEO shouldve been the iceberg off the bow for employees who know their history of the industry.....

The last time I got severance pay at all, it was only two weeks. Two months sounds great to me.

2 months of severance + COBRA seems like a really shitty deal.

A friend was laid off last week 2 hours after an all hands assuring everyone they weren’t “laying everyone off”. I would guess it’s a way to keep people from destroying work or causing havoc before they can revoke access.

Gotta make sure you wring every last ounce of labor out of your workers before kicking them to the curb.

“Two weeks ago, during an all-hands in front of roughly 3,000 full-time Unity employees, Riccitiello assured staffers the company was not in any financial trouble, and that Unity wouldn’t be laying anyone off, according to sources who attended.”

I spent nearly a decade in QA, so I’d say I have a pretty good understanding of the process. Seicarescu is absolutely right about the number of teams on projects like this.

“Everyone else does it” sure is a defense. 

This would probably put Kia dealers out of business, LOL.

Can we please stop hyping these announcements as though they are ahead of schedule? Q3 e-mails go out on the 30th. Q3 starts July 1. So Q3 shipments are starting... in Q3. We also knew the bolus of orders was in Q3 and beyond, so the increase in production was both necessary and expected in order to fill those orders.…

I dare you to show me a single dealer that does not charge some hidden fee. Hell I have negotiated deals on new cars online and then gone in person to close and had dealers try to charge for crap that was not part of the negotiation. I walked away once over $1,500 for window tint that was added AFTER I agreed to the…

1. Unpaid internships are bullshit.

“Mr. Blizzard, after very careful consideration, Ah’ve come to the conclusion that your new mobile game SUCKS.”

Tic Tac Toe is definitely better than anything Blizz offers right now.

Do not use a debit card at a gas pump - hell, unless you’re taking cash out at ATMs don’t bother with a debit card at all.
