Meh, it's nothing to do with that, it's just a layoff round.
Epic went from 2200 employees in 2020 to almost 9000 in 2023. They are now basically shedding 1 out of 6 hires they've done since 2020. That's not really about sustainability, it's just a way to drop the ones that didn't really work out.

- robertlagrant 3y agoIt's not an excuse. They overhired.
- meheleventyone 3y agoI don’t think Tim Sweeney is very bonus motivated TBH! Although if you read the article he says directly that it’s efficiency motivated.
- jmye 3y agoSo you don’t think they actually overhired and that that massive growth in headcount was needed and justified?
- giantg2 3y agoIt depends on how they're laying off. If it's by project, they might not be segregating by skill. If it's across the board, then they might.
