I agree that the last of the boomers turned 60 or are turning 60 this year. There are still lots of people to draw from. I expect that there will be many people wanting to fill the jobs.
Don’t worry, AI is going to replace half of them soon anyways.

given the number of people other companies are laying off I am sure blizzard will easily be able to replace those people who seem to forgot they are being paid to do a job, most of which is better done in a working environment with others.

In tech it’s often the best people who get to work wherever the heck they want. “Better people” aren’t applying by the droves for full on-site positions. It’s people who don’t have the work history/proven skill to negotiate from a strong position.

It’s never that simple.
People who worked from home were able to get a new place to live that cost them less. Then suddenly they’re being told they have to come into work, which possibly means finding a new place to live within communting distance, possibly being unable to afford rent in that area, facing an hour or more of commute each day, and for what? When we’ve proven WFH works?

I’ve seen too many of these.
Lazy, incompetent, or unwilling to see their employees as people and not tools, they often get replaced or transferred out. Or just fired, lol.
A good manager is rare. I say this as an ex-manager myself, from an older job.

And what did you lose? Benefits and a stalled 401k plan you have to roll over once again
Plus years of service you stayed at said previously company and now you start over
This is worth literally nothing. There’s a common bit of advice in tech, “if you want a promotion/pay raise, change jobs”. General recommendations are to change jobs around every 3 years to maximum career growth.

Sorry you have to live from a gated community with security guards down to just a key pin to open a gate?
My mother worked for a company for 20 years, and they let her go during the recession.

And lose any matching % your company gave you?
Current company matches up to 6% and if you leave/get fired before 5 years you’ll lose it
That’s protection policy on the company’s end
