    I think from the perspective of the employee’s reputation, it’s an important distinction, due to the “with cause” vs. “without cause” implication.

    When I hear “laid off” I think the person was probably a fine employee who they just couldn’t keep around because higher-ups wanted more money. But when I hear “fired” I think “well did they take a shit on their boss’s desk or something?”

      A small indy company like blizzard bungie can’t possibly afford to keep such a great composer on for long.

      They laid off Michael sechrist too and that guy wrote deepstone lullaby. But hey, if bungie wants the soundtrack on the new destiny expansion to suck, more power to them.

        I’m not sure if you’re being sarcastic or not, but Sony acquired Bungie for $3.6 billion last year. That’s not a small indy company.

          Sony acquired Bungie for $3.6 billion last year.

          And yet that still wasn’t enough to retain proven talent. They must really be struggling to make ends meet.

          But yes super sarcastic.

            I thought maybe, but sometimes it’s hard to tell. It was super clear with your second response though.

      The boss deff had it coming tho

      Also, I don’t care if person got fired short of criminal misconduct.

      HR can work up a file to fire anyone if they really care…
