Recursos humanos de Bethesda ordena retirar un memorial por los despidos

El personal de Bethesda Game Studios en Rockville, Maryland, instaló el miércoles por la mañana un pequeño memorial para sus colegas recientemente despedidos. Recursos humanos ordenó rápidamente su retirada de la zona común.

La acción tuvo lugar tras una oleada de recortes de plantilla que comenzó el lunes en Xbox y los estudios de Microsoft, incluida Bethesda. Los empleados de Austin habían creado una muestra similar de "Celebración del servicio" el día anterior.

El sindicato de Bethesda Game Studios publicó fotos del memorial de Rockville y de su retirada. Un comunicado del sindicato indicó que Recursos humanos instruyó al gerente de la oficina para que lo retirara casi de inmediato por encontrarse en un espacio compartido.

El sindicato señaló que las zonas comunes se habían utilizado anteriormente para otras muestras del equipo, incluidos trabajos de fans. Describió el memorial como una forma de honrar a quienes perdieron sus empleos y mostrar solidaridad.

Xbox se ha enfrentado a repetidas rondas de despidos en los últimos años, y se esperan más recortes en los próximos doce meses.
