The latest official reports submitted by EA to US regulators indicate that the company had a workforce of 13,400 workers in March last yearHowever, in a statement to employees, the company’s CEO, Andrew Wilson, warned that “given the conditions in which we work and the way we work, we continue to enhance our global brand to support the business”.
These types of statements can be confusing even in their original language, but they essentially convey the existence of a employees who will find themselves unemployed in very little time. How much? Well, it depends on how accurate the numbers are. If we take this into account This could represent 5% of total employees worldwide and taking into account the figure presented in the United States, we would be talking about 670 employees laid off.
A new year, a new wave of layoffs
Wilson said not all teams would be affected and would try limit the number of victims as much as possible in the job market, either by relocating people to other projects or roles, but if this is not possible they will seek to make exits as quiet as possible.
The final point of this restructuring would take place this same calendar year, but this seems to be a situation already experienced given that in March 2023 there was talk of the dismissal of 775 employees in the same company and this is not the only one.
