If they could run the office out of a hole in the wall they would have, to save money :wink:

Blizzard. They couldn’t just fire them, because the office is in Ireland, and they’d have to pay millions after going to court.

It’s called redundancy pay… like your company resigning your job from under you, rather than you walking out.

In America, they call it cutbacks.

Im so confused lol… why cant they fire them? :smiley:

ohhhh… that explains why they’re trying to fire me from job for reasons.

They did nothing wrong to get fired.

I see… I see… that explains a lot

They could if the office was in USA, but in Europe we have laws protecting workers rights.

yes yes… I see hmmm

I never especially loved Az as a YouTuber, but he used to produce at least respectable enough content, and sometimes quite amusing.

Then he left WoW, and his views tanked. Gotta feed those views, and he was not doing it with other games, so he returned.

He was always a bit shouty and sarky, but since he came back, his shtick seems to have morphed into less content, more snark, more clickbait. Just look at the scrawled whiteboards shouting from his thumbnails now.

The story itself is a matter for concern for all Blizzard players, that Blizzard are trying to shed jobs pretty fast suggests that the medium-term prospects at least aren’t looking up, but I don’t need a clownish or sarky presentation of it.

Sorry. I just couldn’t link the original post, because it’s not one of the “trusted” sites.

Ah. Well without the Mythical TL3 Magic Powers, just put the link in the singlequotes that indicate preformatted text in the button to the right of the quotes button atop the exit box:

You should really educate yourself on workers rights (and obligations) . The fact that you are asking these questions and are working is appalling.
