Deering claimed losing a job in the gaming industry isn’t the end of the road for developers, as the industry is “still where the action is,” adding that layoffs in general have probably been “very painful for the managers.” Think of the managers, people! <\/p>
As a solution for dealing with being cut from the workforce, Deering said affected employees should “figure out how to get through it, drive an Uber or whatever,” adding that they should seek out a “cheap place to live and go to the beach for a year.” The former corporate head also said those developers should keep their ear to the ground and pay attention to any developments that could help them settle in employment once again, since “once you get off the train, it’s much harder.”<\/p>
“Well, you know, that’s life,” Deering concluded, expressing optimism that the workers who lost their jobs will rebound eventually and find new employment elsewhere. And, you know. Drive an Uber or whatever in the meantime. Sounds very in touch with the current job landscape. <\/p>
