AT= KS, SC, HK, SM, MT - all Animation Technology waste products. SC is probably the biggest, fattest c**t. Never friendly, total attitude, ugly and self-important. She has no skills. N.O. is hot... too bad he's married

Man oh man, we're in the wrong bid'ness (just checked out the Insider Transactions page).

If you ever want to cringe...take a look at the shares these guys collect: http://finance.yahoo.com/q/it?s=DWA+Insider+Transactions HR Dan is scoring. HR Dan?

Maybe they can "transition" all the middle management into sales people and start selling all the great technology products we have...hmmhmmhmmm...yeh...ummm....great technology...lol

Cannot help wonder what might happen if Croods also tanks. Is it an OMFG moment for JK and the Board? What will be next? Hope y'all have a Plan B. I know I do.

Wow! Good for him!

He left middle of last year, way before all the craziness started to hit. God bless.

did they actually "transition" Saty!? .. Or did he leave by himself? .. He is an awesome awesome person. Much respect to him!

Saty is now at Autodesk. Heard he was exploring getting into academia? One of the finest people I have ever had the fortune to meet. He has an immense knowledge of CG, a boatload of degrees, and a mellow personality. I miss Saty.

For a change of pace, who are the unsung heroes of DWA that never seem to get the promotion, recognition or attention they deserve? I've heard Saty's name thrown out so I'm curious: anyone else?

The video of "Kate"... Puke. Oh wait, just the mere mention made me toss my cookies. AT: home to con artists, shuksters, spinmeisters, snake oil salespeople, wannabes, stowaways. Spring cleaning, anyone? About time.

Anyone think that Kate Swanborg, who is a "tech exec" at DWA is the twin sister of Dooneese, who is one (you'll figure it out) of the singing sisters on SNL's parody of the Lawerence Welk Show? See the video of Kate below... — read more

Its cheaper to keep a visa worker afraid, than to keeping a free American afraid. The easier you get afraid, the easier its for them to "manage" you. Sure, it costs legal to get a visa, but it costs less than to give an American a deserved raise. An... — read more 

How will DW justify renewing foreign work Visas for people when they are laying of American workers?

We are afraid of the culture spawning from DreamWorks at the moment. We do not want for it to influence our companies. We prefer candidates which have not worked there before, or had lesser roles in production. Hope you guys find a job. Its just... — read more 

There are 1000+ jobless people out there, and way less jobs. Its hard. Most of the companies are just beefing up their database of candidates. I help people get jobs, and it has been hard. There are more jobs at London and other parts of the globe... — read more

What's sad about this forum is that there's hardly anybody here visiting or posting. So, "supposedly" there are 350 layoffs at DWA. Doesn't seem like there's much that really care. Probably most are in India or the bay area where jobs are a dime a... — read more 

@'The Post is the Problem': umm, why are YOU here? Troll much?

Listen, moron - for the FIRST time, we people-who-do-the-actual-work have a VOICE, and that is REASON ENOUGH to "be here". Kapisch? Nice try, telling us to go away. Not happening. PS: I am gainfully employed again, thanks to my own skills (not the DW... — read more

Is there any aggressive marketing and advertising happening in the US for Croods?

OZ will come and go. It's a dog. DW's problem will be how they get this one out there.

JK and team should be very worried about Oz. This movie will have incredible legs and will most likely knock Croods down a little. Wouldn't be surprised if Oz comes close to knocking Croods out of first place on opening weekend

Seems most of you posting here are just bitter that you've lost your jobs. And it always seems it is through no fault of your own. Maybe true, maybe not. But it's just a fact of life that if some things don't work out, that there needs to be a belt... — read more
