Microsoft Has Screwed the Employees of Xbox Yet Again | Unpacked

1:57 - Maybe I don't know how to be a trillion dollar company with inflated value, but if you need to close multiple mid-size studios to fend off a 3% "accountability margin", you're absolutely doing the same thing expecting different results. I know it's because of shareholders, but we *gotta* have some sort of public policy that says endless growth cannot be the goal of a board or stockholder once a company hits a certain revenue level. Because these companies aren't chasing just stability, they chase *growth* and if they shrink from a place of profiting a hypothetical 10 dollars to only 7 dollars over expenses, suddenly it's the end of the world and they'll cull 3 dollars of value from payroll to make up the difference. Every time. People love to reference the case of a Nintendo exec not taking a salary to pay employees in times of dire straits, but that is because it is or was a law that you can't cut labor to make those *profit targets* in Japan, the company actually has to be at risk of going under.

Well said!

"Oh no, only 3% profit! Everyone out."

If only there was a company that doesn't chase specs and focuses on content and player experience.

The Employees should unionize

I haven't watched this yet, but I already know. This crap is getting old. What good is the lime green Xbox if nothing is coming out for it?
