何不食肉糜?前索尼高層談遊戲界裁員:那就去渡假一年啊
2024 年各大遊戲公司紛紛發生裁員潮,至今仍未消止。至於被裁員者該如何應對,前索尼互動娛樂高層 Chris Deering 發表了他的看法。
前索尼互動娛樂歐洲區總經理,現年 79 歲的 Chris Deering 近日前往媒體人 Simon Parkin 所主持的 Podcast「我的完美電玩主機(My Perfect Console)」,其中談及遊戲界裁員潮時,Chris Deering 表示被炒魷魚的人可以當 Uber 司機,或是去找個找個海邊或是便宜的地方住一年,直到業界情況好轉。

這番「沒工作就去渡假」的言論也掀起爭議,底下大部分網友認為 Chris Deering 的思想與現實十分脫節,不過也有少部分網友覺得被裁員了本來就要轉換跑道。
"Drive an uber" you know, one of the must unforgiving jobs on the planet, while you keep up your dev skills and wait for jobs to come back. "Find a cheap place to live." Where!? There are no cheap places to live!

So he's saying you should find another job or take a vacation until things get better, what's wrong with this?

不過 Simon Parkin 也強調,這只是全長 74 分鐘 Podcast 的一小部分,希望大家可以聽完全程再評論。
