But, give yourselves a few days or weeks and your stress levels will be at an all time low.
Good luck to all still here.
It feels great to follow a leader I have no respect for in Design.

Gotta pay for Adler's fees somehow.
Does anyone know which depts. took the biggest hit?
If the current layoff trend continue there will be no one working at the EA office within ten years, probably less. Think about that! What happened to all the good vibes Richard and the CEO kept extolling all last year? If 30 get cut after FP was up across the board last year, then what is the real long term strategy here? I'm seriously asking, maybe some top brass could jump in here and clarify for everyone, because I for one do not get it.
More like 30 let go.
Our leadership in design and packaging are two of the most superficial useless sacks of crap to walk the earth. they're a couple of over the hill queens who are so out of touch with current trends it's pathetic. All they do is phone it in, have other people do their decks and take credit for everyone else's efforts. the true definition of managing up.
