Holy shit. Never thought I'd see the day. When I was working QA they would lay us off after the end of every project. It sucked. We'd be off work for months at a time. No benefits, no healthcare, no OT pay, long hours, bullshit 1099 contracts. And if you were on a shit title, sorry homie. Enjoy Barbie's Island adventure.

I’m super happy to see this. Just a few years ago, I was working as QA in a studio adjacent to this group. (We had our own QA, but worked alongside the activision group) and god they needed to do this.

So happy to see them fighting back. I hope the rest of the employees who don’t get fucked QUITE as hard as QA join too.
