Sorry to hear that :( Almost dread to say it, but perhaps a decent time to look outside of the games industry?

I'm sure with Rockstar on your CV, you won't have much problem getting a job back in Blighty.

that sucks.

good luck to you, mate!

What was up?  A hundred beelyon dollars profit wasn't enough for them?  Also; aren't there some sort of commie hippy labour laws in Switzerland or wherever it is you work(ed)?

I don't doubt that you could walk into a job in FriendsAndFamilyCorp here if you want it, so if you get so desperate that Jocklandia starts to look attractive, drop me a PM.

do you have someone who knows about Austrian employment law? This sucks.

That really sucks. No notice and everything. Totally out of order. You shouldn't get that even if the company goes bust. Bad luck. I don't doubt you'll find something. I hope that whatever you do find is good. And treats you well.

Look on the bright side, anyway: you'll be able to leave the dullness of Vienna and go back to the bright lights of Harlow.

Flash development work is pretty steady. People with game coding skills (especially those with a little server-side knowledge) are in pretty high demand. The work is easier, the projects smaller, more variety, there may be companies in Vienna... it has a lot of advantages.

I'm sorry to hear that.

Stay in touch with your colleagues. It only takes one guy to find something new and exciting which also incidentally needs a few extra hires. You never know.

Sounds like a pretty ugly way to do it.

You've got a great CV though... good luck with the job-hunting.

Thats a bit shit sir. Are you coming home (if so when/beer?).

You know your stuff though, I wouldn't worry unduly.

Did you get a pay-off?

It's political correctness gone mad!

Sorry to hear about that mate.  I hope they've been generous on your severance package, in which case take a month off, go sit on a beach and play with your kids.  Then look to strapping yourself back to the corporate machine.

But now you can go home!  And find a better place to work, a place where they won't lay you off for no reason overnight!

Sorry to hear about it, man.

The only thing more holy than quitting your job is having someone else quit it for you, and the added bonus in your case is you even get to come on home back to London maybe?

Ah, I envy you so much right now. I'm gonna have to go to work all next week, and all the week after, and so on and so on until god knows when.

Just saw the story on Slashdot about this, that sucks... hope things work out alright back here in England!
