I think that may have been a consequence of many cuts there in the past already, in that sense I’m guessing it’s not been the most fun place to work as it was these last few years. Usually that kind of situation is quite stressful.
What it’ll look like in the future will be anyone’s guess. I doubt it’ll improve, but I could be wrong.
You’re getting AI. Enjoy.
Sure but if you do a bad job you shouldn’t get to keep it.
If I don’t do my job I’ll get fired. Same goes for them and they haven’t been doing their job for years.
Can’t be worse than what they already give us so I don’t see it as a loss.
I don’t understand why everyone wants them to keep their job they weren’t doing.
If you don’t have enough people to do a job, you’ll automatically do a poor job. It’s as simple as that. I have no idea whether that was the situation, I have no inside info, but it’s been my guess with how CS has gotten worse over the years in combination with the many lay offs.
If you don’t have enough people to do a job, it’s even more important that you take good care of the customers you have.
See it goes both ways.
They spat in the face of the players for years and now they’re surprised that I don’t care at all about them or what happens to their lives.
You’re blaming the wrong people if it’s been the consequence of lack of funding.
Say, 5 people are needed to refill the supermarket aisles. And then they lay off three people, and two get to keep their job. The fact aisles are getting refilled slower is not the fault of those two employees, but of the supermarket for not hiring enough people to do a good job.
Because replacing workers with AI is going to be real helpful in society.
Bots are so frustrating. It’s one way to reduce tickets I guess lol.
I don’t care that tickets have been slower. But when they finally respond to a ticket they don’t read what your problem is and just says “Go check wowhead”.
They don’t deserve to work in CS and honestly I don’t care at all what happens to them because of how disrespectful they’ve been towards the players.
It’s not about the time it takes them to respond to tickets, it’s about the quality they give to the players which have been the worst out of any company in the world most likely.
Oh no. Let me cry them a river.
Hyper-growth bruh.
Really bad news and shock to many is Klopp is leaving Liverpool end of season.
I don’t envy anyone trying to get into the game industry these days. Between the pursuing profit at all costs and the weird purity spirals surrounding attempts to shun people based on personal and political beliefs it truly is in dire straits.
The Palworld success is the bittersweet cherry on the top.
Female attendance at IT engineer type semesters was roughly 380:20 in my time, so seeing a team in this area consist almost half of women tends to leave people wondering.
8% of now combined force! It’s stated that AB is most affected. I really doubt that AB had 1000 employees in ‘bureaucracy’.
They lost a lot of expertise and experienced staff with the Versaille closures. So I’m expecting much of the same. Also MS support has been so dire so if they are going to outsource it like that tweet claims then I don’t have high hopes.
I also appreciate that many don’t feel it can get any worse than ‘have you read wowhead’ responses that we’ve been getting for some time.
I genuinely get that. I still think it’s more a symptom of overworking the few humans you still got scattered about than anything tho. Especially in customer support it’s a recipe for burnout and the sensation you’re not valued for your contribution, while also knowing you’re not making customers happy because of the lack of time and space to do so. But I may have drawn too negative conclusions there over the years, it struck me as potentially something like this yet it’s a guess 
If it has been anything like this, I hope they find better and more enjoyable jobs.
This happens all the time when one company obtains another .
Than suddenly a lot of people “Decide to Peruse their goals and seek new opportunities in a different place”
Usually the reason is :
employee 1 does graphic design
employee 2 does graphic design
You don’t need two , so one of them is “encouraged” to seek new “opportunities” . Usually from the obtained company as you really have no reference how well the new guy works and you are satisficed by your own guy works . The bigger the company the more people that this will happen to .
Just seen that - as a Red myself, absolutely gutted - get Xavi Alonso in and we still good. anyway, im derailing this thread by talking about that.
you’ve never worked in retail have you??? Boy i can tell you some stories about how that scenario you described really works…
Well thats alright then (sarcasm)
