"We are mindful of the difficulties that this layoff poses to employees and the community, Fahlbusch wrote in a letter to the Department of Commerce for North Carolina, where the company is headquartered, when the layoffs were announced."
"In the coming days, employers will see a stream of resumes of once-in-a-lifetime quality folks. An important thing to understand is that Epic never lowered our hiring standards as we grew, and the layoff wasn't a performance-based 'rightsizing' as companies call it nowadays."
Epic Games has announced the departure of chief people officer Monika Fahlbusch, effective April 15. This change follows significant layoffs impacting over 1,000 employees. Fahlbusch joined Epic in December 2020 and played a crucial role in the recent downsizing. The layoffs surprised many employees, including one affected individual with terminal brain cancer. CEO Tim Sweeney faced backlash for the layoffs, attributing them to financial pressures, including a costly legal battle. The company is now focusing on a $1.5 billion partnership with Disney for future projects.
