I am gutted right now. My friends in QA at Raven were promised, for months, that Activision was working towards a pay restructure to increase their wages.
Today, one by one, valuable members of the team were called into meetings and told they were being let go.

If it isn't clear, this is bullshit.
It's unfair to these people to string them along, promising something better, and then let them go.
I am infuriated right now.

These people were asked to relocate to Madison, WI to work here. Now they are out of a job on January 28th.
Our QA team does incredible work but this will not only increase their workload but crush morale.
If any industry friends have open positions, please share them.

Well, unfortunately I've been laid off.
If anyone has an open position for a Community Manger (or adjacent), I'm looking!
I've spent the last 3 years running player facing comms for CoD: Warzone! I've got references too!
Gonna tackle my resume after a short break! 🥲
I am heartbroken and horrified as I sit here and wait to find out if I have a job.
I'm angry because it doesn't have to be like this.
None of us deserve this.

We've just deployed fixes to resolve some of the issues resulting from the Season 1 Reloaded update.
• Players will no longer enter a bugged state when interacting with loadout crates in-game
• Players will no longer get stuck on the "Fetching Online Profile"

I’ve been working on Call of Duty for almost two years and I’ve helped ship two premium titles and two massive new chapters of Warzone.
Two of these I’ve shipped while being a Community Manager.
Life is crazy.

The best part is that it's being made by one of the creators of the game.
These people are entitled and think they should get the story they demand, not the story the director wants to tell.

Just really fuckin thankful I get to work on video games.
Really thankful because 16 year old me didn't think I'd make it past 18.
12 year old me would never believe I'd get to do all the things I've done.
If you're reading this, thanks. I appreciate you all. 😊

I hope the CoD community understands that I prioritized your voices every single chance that I got.
There was never a day I didn't wake up and and do my best to serve y'all.
Did it always work? No, because I'm just one person. But dammit, I tried!

These meetings will likely be full of anti-union propaganda, unfortunately.

I don't know that I'll ever not be bitter about how this record was the best material we ever wrote and how both management and our label just abandoned us/it.
No matter how much we cared, we just couldn't get anyone else to.

Hello! My name is Austin (or AOB). I'm a Community Manager at Raven Software where I primarily work on Warzone.
I spent the last decade playing heavy music and touring until January of 2020 when I got my first games job working in QA.

Working on Warzone literally changed my life. There have been rough days but also so many good ones.
Being a part of our small comms team for this title for the past 2-ish years has been a wild ride and I am so thankful for it.

You a smaller streamer? Do yourself a favor and stop watching/listening to "Streamer Tips" especially if they're on TikTok. A lot of those folks are sharing nonsense so that they can funnel you back to their accounts and grow their audience.

Kristin got me a drawing tablet for Christmas. I haven't drawn in over a decade but I miss it.
Not because I was particularly good but just because it was FUN!
This is the first thing I've made in 10+ years. I love Hellboy so I thought it'd be fitting to draw him first.

It can be VERY exhausting and demoralizing as a community manager to put your best foot forward every day and only see the most negative reactions.
