Ubisoft carried out another significant round of layoffs on June 10, closing two international studios and cutting staff across multiple offices — with San Francisco among the locations affected, adding to a multi-year restructuring that has already cost the company roughly one in five of its employees. The San Francisco office, which ceased functioning as a development studio in late 2024, had continued to house IT, marketing, and administrative staff. On June 10, those remaining employees were informed during an internal meeting that their roles were being eliminated as part of the latest cost restructuring. The number of San Francisco employees affected is estimated between 50 and 100, though an exact figure has not been confirmed. The San Francisco cuts are part of a broader wave of actions announced the same day: Ubisoft closed its studios in Winnipeg, Canada — affecting the entire 65-person team — and Belgrade, Serbia, while also laying off employees in Barcelona. Combined, The Game Business estimated around 380 jobs are at risk across all locations. The scale of the cumulative damage to Ubisoft's workforce is striking. The company's headcount has fallen from 20,729 employees in September 2022 to 16,590 at the end of March 2026 — a reduction of over 4,100 people, or roughly 20% of its workforce. Further cuts are reportedly planned through 2028 as part of an ongoing restructuring program. The June cuts follow layoffs in January and February 2026, and come in the same period as Ubisoft's decision in October 2025 to spin out Vantage Studios — with Tencent funding — to serve as the home for its most valuable franchises including Assassin's Creed, Far Cry, and Rainbow Six. That spin-out is widely read as an attempt to preserve flagship IP while continuing to shrink the broader organization. Ubisoft has not publicly commented on the specifics of the June restructuring. #Ubisoft #GameIndustryLayoffs #UbisoftSanFrancisco #GameDev #Layoffs2026 #VideoGames #GamingIndustry #UbisoftBelgrade #UbisoftWinnipeg #TechLayoffs #AssassinsCreed #RainbowSix #Vantage

The Degree Dilemma: Why Getting Educated No Longer Guarantees Getting Employed 🎓📉 ​That gut-punch feeling when you spend 4 years staying up late, stressing over exams, and collecting certificates—only to find out your dream entry-level role now requires "3–5 years of experience" and an understanding of AI tools that didn’t even exist when you picked your major. ​You aren't alone. We are witnessing a massive, global structural shift in the job market. The traditional formula (Good Grades = Secure Corporate Job) is officially broken. ​The Reality Check by the Numbers ​The disconnect between graduation caps and steady paychecks is growing wider: ​The Skills Mismatch: Universities are still largely teaching 2010 theory, while companies are looking for 2026 technical agility. ​The "Experience" Paradox: Entry-level roles are evaporating. Companies are leveraging automation and AI to do the work of three junior interns, raising the barrier to entry for grads. ​The Underemployment Trap: Millions are taking survival gigs in the gig economy or shifting back to legacy sectors because formal salaried roles aren't opening up fast enough. ​The Hard Truth: The economy isn't necessarily running out of work; it's running out of the specific types of corporate jobs we were trained to want. ​How to Pivot and Protect Your Career ​If the old playbook doesn't work, it's time to write a new one. Here is how to build leverage in a tough market: ​Trade Up "Degrees" for "Micro-Credentials" 🛠️ Stop waiting for a 4-year curriculum to update. Take highly targeted 3-to-6-month certifications in high-demand, specialized spaces (e.g., Data Analytics, Green Tech, or AI System Integration). ​Build a "Proof of Work" Portfolio 📂 Resumes are flat; evidence is multi-dimensional. Build real things, write open-source code, consult for local small businesses for free, and document your process online. Let employers see how you think. ​Become AI-Augmented, Not AI-Replaced 🤖 Don't hide from automation. Learn how to prompt, build workflows, and leverage AI inside your niche. The person getting hired isn't competing with AI; they're competing with a person who knows how to use AI effectively. ​The job market is changing fast, but so can you. Shift your focus from collecting titles to solving problems. ​What’s the biggest barrier you’re facing in the job hunt right now? Let's talk in the replies. 👇 ​#Unemployment #CareerAdvice #JobSearch #FutureOfWork #Upskilling #GenZ #TechLayoffs #CareerPivot

150k tech layoffs in 2026. Is AI the real reason, or just a convenient excuse for overhiring? 📉 👇 kalinga.ai/ai-driven-layoffs… #AI #TechLayoffs #Workforce2026

"Companies often want global talent when they're scaling. Once the processes are mature and AI starts kicking in, the narrative changes." by a @deloitte employee. That pattern is not unique to @Opendoor, and the customer proximity justification is worth examining because the customers were always in America, which makes the timing of when that suddenly became a deciding factor the more revealing part of the story. #Layoffs #IndiaJobs #TechLayoffs #GlobalTech #BlindApp

"Getting blindsided like this instantly triggers a stressful, high-stakes 60-day visa countdown, forcing you to find a new sponsor immediately." by a @servicenow employee. For H-1B engineers, the clock starts the moment HR appears on that call, and it does not pause for the mortgage, the kids' school year, or the job market. The way a company chooses to execute layoffs has consequences that go well beyond the severance package, and not every employee in the room is starting from the same position. #H1B #ServiceNow #TechLayoffs #IndiaInTech #BlindApp

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has acknowledged in an internal memo that the company made mistakes during its sweeping AI-driven workforce restructuring, according to Reuters. "Given the complexity of these changes, we've made mistakes and will almost certainly make more," Zuckerberg wrote, adding that he is focused on "providing as much stability as possible" going forward. In May, Meta laid off 10% of its global workforce and transferred 7,000 employees to new AI-related roles. Zuckerberg said Meta will try to find new positions for employees reassigned to AI model training, and noted the restructuring was designed with flexibility in mind: "if we make mistakes in some places, then we could transfer some people back." He also acknowledged concerns about widening manager oversight ratios — Meta's new Applied AI Engineering unit reportedly had a structure with up to 50 individual contributors per manager — and said the company plans to scale back that practice. Zuckerberg reiterated that Meta does not expect further company-wide layoffs this year. The company is planning a large-scale hackathon in July and increasing budgets for team offsites and corporate events. Meta raised its annual capital spending forecast to between $125 billion and $145 billion in April as it doubles down on AI infrastructure. #Meta #Zuckerberg #AI #TechLayoffs #BigTech

Meta made 56 billion dollars in Q1 2026. Weeks later they fired 8 thousand people. Most professionals think high corporate profits mean total job security. I spent 28 years in tech HR, and I am telling you that rule is dead. If a company swimming in cash can cut 8 thousand jobs, it can happen to you, too.
