Both FTE and contract workers.

Source: I got the call 2 hrs ago. Last day 8/28.

And I'm wrecked. I've been taking MoT slow from a Triumph perspective, and just got it unlocked, watched it...after sitting for a good 10 minutes and reflecting on it, all I want to say is a giant THANK YOU to the Narrative Team and to the Voice Actors.

On my lunch break, sitting on my couch, knocking off a bit of D2, I did not expect to be reduced to tears...while I was always hoping there was going to be a way for D2 to go on a little while longer (and as someone who lives in Chicago, I was so eager to see what was in store for us), this was a great send-off for us, given the time and resources they had.

Since 2014, the Destiny universe has had made me laugh, made me think, and in the best of their storytelling, hit me right in the gut with the feels. This was no different.

Thank you to all who had something to do with this moment I just experienced.

EDIT: Thank you. We can stop here for now. It’s not possible for me to respond to every answer individually. I didn’t ask for people’s feelings or opinions about it. I asked for concrete, action-oriented feedback from managers and leaders. It seems everyone except managers has an opinion. Unless you’re in a leadership role, you don’t really have an idea of what the current market is like or the decisions managers have to make.

I am managing a team of 10 people, and recently our company has been going through a major restructuring and leadership changes across several functions. They also made significant changes to my team. I had four high performers, one of whom was the best of the best. Three of these high performers were transferred to other teams and promoted. They also changed my reporting line to another department.
In my old team, they replaced me by hiring a new director below my previous level, reporting to the new senior director who effectively replaced me. They placed my best high performer under this new leader. Although his job level did not change, he is now reporting one layer lower in the organization.
He was assigned a new project while also being expected to train a new manager. At the same time, other leaders were changing, and several of his peers were being rewarded. He was reassured that these changes would lead to advancement once the restructuring was settled.
However, he suddenly resigned and is not talking to anyone, which is completely out of character for him. He has cut off communication with all of leadership, even those who were not involved in the restructuring decisions.
Do you think we have lost him for good? Several ex managers of him reached out to him but he doesn’t talk to anyone and doesn’t want negotiation.
The reason he was kept in place because he was critical for business continuity and leadership needed some time before moving him as well.
