I just got laid off by @Meta and no longer work on @OnwardTheGame . If anyone is hiring designers feel free to reach out, or just if you wanna play some DMZ or something. I definitely got time now.

Layoffs. I lost a lot of colleagues and friends today.

Meta has cut 11,000 employees in late 2022, with CEO Mark Zuckerberg announcing plans to axe 10,000 more jobs by May. It’s looking to many people that the Metaverse may not have much of a future if this keeps going on.
