I know one of the 1,500 EA employees who were laid off, and his morale is apparently higher than those who still work there:
John Riccitiello was key to mention that a lot of bad publicity was directed at the company:
So essentially, Riccitiello is virtually admitting that morale is low because of a lot of negative press, but insists the company is pleased to be where it’s at right now. It’s unknown if EA is going to trim down anything else (a studio? more workers?), but if they do, you can imagine that the morale might be reasonably low. If the cutbacks are near finished, I think that it’ll eventually get off the minds of the workers and EA will indeed continue to be a stronger company after releasing less-profitable aspects of itself.
What do you think about John Riccitiello’s words?
