....This sounds like a good thing for Funi and for the future of R1 under the current market circumstances.

Or, to put it in terms more common on these here interwebs:
1) buy licenses
2) fire staff
3) ???
4) profit

I normally don't post often and it's been awhile since I've been here... but reading two news about staff reduction does have me concerned. Specially when hopefuls such as myself with aspirations of working in said companies read them. I'm only a year away from getting my BA in Tele-Communications... let's just hope things start getting better soon.

If your Tele-Communications you'll almost always have a job. esp if its with your city. Its a technological field so you should pretty good off.

Nooooooooooo FUNi!!!

I really hope this doesn't greatly affect their business or their release schedule. Freakin' economy. =/

Why the hell did the economy have to get the way it is? What did we ever do to deserve it?

We re-elected Bush.

Okay first know what you are talking about. This problem has been build years be for bush got in. When the man took office we were in a recession. he got it back up with some of the policies. From there it was all just corp greed . More then just bush is a fault it is our whole government and country. We the people let this happen. If people cared more and not looking out for number 1 we would be in a much better place. I hate when people just blame bush. Wake up and smell the roses. this country is going to be in worse shape. We were promised change and guess what we got a bunch of money grubbing thieves. How about we start taking back our country and get rid of these guys and start punishing them instead of us getting punished

Thanks for this blistering and yet unintelligible political commentary.

This thread is not about the economy, it's about prematurely panicking about a large, successful company letting a handful of people go while also telling you directly that none of that will effect production.

My, my, aren't you quite the board Nazi.

You're joking, right?

True, although the comment that it reflected on was simplistic bilge. If we could just get through a story about the economic woes of the Anime Industry without blaming [insert politician/political party] as the source of original sin I'd be happy.
