As president Obama mentioned the more you lay off the employees the worst you are making the economy it is a never ending circle.

very true, but people always said the gaming industry was “recession-proof”, myself included. As we look ahead, I’m hoping that alternatives are made than the absolute decision of terminations. Then again, I’m no CFO.

It appears as though we have a classic case of a jaded employee that fell subject to the ruthless exploits of US capitalism. I’m really sorry for all those affected by the THQ layoffs, however a perusal of virtually any edition of the Wall Stree Journal will teach you a very simple lesson; Companies do whatever it takes to survive. There’s no such thing as loyalty anywhere…at all (even in pro sports). This is why one must never be comforted by the ’sweat equity’ invested into their respective employer. All those extra hours were better spent at home with family and friends. The current state of our economy reaches far beyond banks and real-estate. In the end, the only thing THQ is guilty of is falling in line with every other company that has announced layoffs over the past 6 months…including my own.
