Remembering "The 800"

May they never be forgotten. I hope they are all well, found better jobs, or were re-hired here.

What happened to them during a time of major Blizz profits, was undeserved, and I, for one, will never forget them.

I agree with you Jonãs and I am always saying change is eventually good. If you lose a job it’s because a better one is coming up and life knew you needed to make time for it. I also hope they found good jobs, even better than before, or maybe moved to a place they like more for a similar job. Or maybe they realized they’re done with corporate nonsense and started their own business, or just retired!

Name five of them. Tell me some of the names of their pets. What were their favorite snacks? Places to hang out with friends after work? Tell me something more that could possibly make me believe your sentiment.

Really choked up about the financial, hr, and global insights departments?

Because remember, the 800 referenced were non development positions.

I love you

I also don’t name fish I just call them fish 1, fish 2, fish 3

They don’t really hear their names underwater so I don’t see the point

Yes. Yes, I did. And still am. Those folks signed on because they loved gaming and with the hope that those jobs might lead into something more challenging or lucrative. Ever been laid off from a job you love?

You’ll believe me (and remember this thread) if and when it happens to you Varrosh. I hope it never does, but there’s my answer.

The is happens to everyone at some point.

I don’t know a single person who’s worked one job their entire life.
