Yep, I work in games and this year has been fucking brutal.
Most of my contacts/acquaintances on Linkedin are “between jobs”.
Luckily I have some freelancing set up, but this thing is killing me. It’s not easy to find another (remote) job when half the people in the industry are competing with you.
I think it would be super awkward if you’ve been widowed.
I mean, you’re supposed to meet everyone again, including your former spouses who had been waiting for you.
