I'm still angry. I'm upset for everyone laid off. I'm upset for those of us quietly let go leading up to this. I'm upset that so many people who LOVED THIS GAME are being blamed for it's poor quality atm.
WE ALL TRIED.
YOU DIDN'T LISTEN PETE.
After a round of layoffs that impacted multiple departments, Bungie CEO Pete Parsons allegedly told remaining employees that the company had kept “the right people” to continue work on Destiny 2.
I remember being in the meeting where we were all reassured. Then. People started to get let go slowly. And with no reason leading up to today.
NEVER believe a company if they say this. It’s never true. Protect yourself. Update your resume constantly and listen to your gut.
I wonder what the statute of limitations were on the Bungie leadership assuring no layoffs were going to happen as a result of the Sony buyout? (Article from WaPo Feb 2022)
I’ve been pretty quiet about it, but I was let go from Bungie on 8/26.
I’m heart broken. I’m confused. I’m lost. I spent all my post college life trying to get a job there. It was my dream.
Happy Friday everyone! It’s a 💫GIVEAWAY💫 kind of day.
I need you to show me your kitties! Or your friend’s kitties. Or your fave meme of a kitty. It just HAS to be a cat.
🐱Prize is the Look at the Kitties Secret Lair

I don’t want to get too into it but I believe it was wrong. Overall managerial support was lacking & despite constantly requesting more support I was doing 3 people’s jobs during an extremely busy time & reprimanded for things that should not have held so much weight.
And no. I do not want any test jobs. I’m done. As a woman in tech and test, I’ve learned it will never change. It will always have low wages and be dominated by men. I tried very hard to insight change but my voice was small in a large ocean. (This is not just at Bungie)
I won’t go into anymore detail so please don’t ask me. In the end, I still don’t fully know what I did or what I could’ve done to improve which is really not a great feeling.
Also. Pls don’t misuse my words. I am not throwing any hate or shade. Just feelings and facts.
While not 100% related, I do think this is not great timing since I am not the only woman in tech let go recently. I can only hope they take what I said and improve for the next person.
As more days move on while I'm at Bungie, I keep seeing more and more how I should've been treated all along. It sucks I had to be pushed to the edge to get here, but I'm here now, and now is pretty great.

Look. I am allowed to be vague. You can take or leave what I’m saying. This is how I feel & what I see. You aren’t me. You didn’t live this. You don’t know so don’t f’ing assume it’s cause I’m lazy or unskilled.
I was great at what I did & built the role & team w/my bare hands

Oh no. I’m losing followers because I care about women’s rights and their choices. Oh and it also means I care about:
Proper sex education
Longer parental leave
Free access to birth control
Vasectomies!!!! And more.
Don’t fight me on this.
You’re invited! 🍾🎉🥂

I’ve been losing followers recently after sharing my stories of depression and being sexually harassed. That’s nice. Hope the door hits you on the way out.
Omg. What the heck y’all. She’s not like 100% but. She’s wearable. I made this in 2 weeks. I have no idea how. 😬 see you in Vegas!!!!

Look y’all. I’ve been unemployed for nearly 6 months. I’m exhausted. I’ve applied to tons of jobs I am qualified for. Pardon me for venting about taking extra time when I’m applying all the time.
And yeah. I threw in the salary because most of the jobs I see are laughably low.

I've been out of a 9-5 job since Aug. 2022. I was let go of my job for no reason so I was vastly unprepared to go back into the job hunting world. I've been on unemployment since then and have done some gigs, but HEY HERE IS THE TRUTH ABOUT ME: 🧵

Also hello everyone. Welcome to the Bubble Machine. I play lots of magic and destiny 2. I stream and post cosplay and hot takes.
How are you? 😁
Yesterday we picked up the keys to our first home! I’m so excited to share this next step in the journey with you. I finally get my own office and don’t have neighbors connected to me 😭
I haaattteee when people are told to “learn to code” to get a better job.
No. Just no.
We should pay everyone a living wage. If all of test left all your games would suck and just die.
It’s time to share some exciting news!

FOMO & Imposter Syndrome super suck.
You ever just wanna yell nicely at people of how awesome you are but then don’t? It’s a weird feeling.
So. Here’s something I’m proud of to try & boost my feelings.
Always proud of my warlock

I won’t go into specifics. I still love the people on my team & others & Bungie.
I had bad managerial support & nothing was said to me until it was too late it seems.
best comment i got at PAX once - "i'm tired of dva cosplayers that don't make the mech it's so inaccurate" like i feel you bro i'm tired of hanzo cosplayers that don't kill their brother it's so inaccurate :/
My heart is so full from this weekend at

Y’all. Omin currently will have 10 pieces of 3D printed chainmail. The stats..
3 spools & 48 hrs 15mins per print that’s…
About 480 hours my printer has been going since July.

How is it that with 7 years of exp and exp being a lead am I still seen as an associate to companies?!
This is exactly what I was afraid of when I had to begin my job search…
Still nothing. Very scared now.
