After laying off almost 2,000 people, Xbox finds itself in a position at odds with the community-first image it has cultivated for itself.

    I agree with that. So the contracts made beforehand should reflect this and expire naturally rather than actively laying employees off.
    Or is the title clickbait?

    If you need to fire a large number of employees then someone in management failed to manage.

      You’re forgetting there was a merger. Jobs that were necessary when there were 2 separate companies are now not necessary when there is only 1 merged company.

      Also it seems a large number of layoffs were for:

      • blizzards survival game that was reportedly in development hell after 6 years of development
      • the physical games department because Xbox is going all digital
