Why do they call it "Human Resources"?

When you take 1 guy out of every 5 guys, you can not pick "only" the ones who no one will never miss.

What comes to selection procedure and reasoning... We may not agree, but honestly - who can say they posses enough information to make this kind of difficult decisions better than people who work in the actual company.

This is sad day for many, blame games or finger pointing will not change that. When people are laid off, people who we know and like will vanish. That is what cutbacks are about. They are not pretty.

When people get laid off, they easily start to blame themselves, even in situations like this, they are just victims of some bad corporate decisions and global recession. Showing support to the people who are leaving and thanking them about past years is something they surely appreciate.

This is not end of world for anyone. There is always tomorrow. It may be better than this day, even today it can be hard to imagine.

To those who will no longer be with CCP, all the best and we'll pray for you to land on your feet fast.

To CCP: thank you for making the though call. Focus is something I've been hoping for and I'm glad to see that you don't shy away (too much) from making the right decision, no matter how tough. I've felt for a while now that CCP was growing the employee base too quickly.

I support CCP in this. I don't see why anyone who cares a shred about this game doesn't.

Would you rather we go back to CCP paying more people to develop WoD and DUST than Eve?

no we want CCP to have a community team for EVE ONLINE. beause as of right now they seem to be getting rid of the community team.

If it's an 'expansion', it isn't about fixing anything. It's kind of in the definition of the term.

Anyone else notice how very often the 'I support CCP in this!!!' posters are making their first post ever? CCP Alt damage control again?

Because they clearly are. However, the human resource is being reduced in this case, which is my whole point. By reducing the human resource you're not actually freeing up the resource that directly does work for the company, just the monetary resource.

It is the fault of those who decided to make EVE into their cash cow for other projects, and now others will get fired because of their stupid decisions. It has nothing to do with the eve community.

I'm not without sympathy for these folks, but part of their job was to keep the rabble under control. They failed at this. When you don't perform your job, you lose it. That's the way these things work.

I will contract you to keep a white, rich, 15 years old nerdy intact in his way through a 5km long ghetto. This all will happen once it's enough dark, just because i enjoy making cretinous decisions. Your hands are your only tools. Don't blame me if you fail doing your job, which I, as your employer, know pretty well you will.
