Regarding all the bad news about economy disaster, company layoff, company closure, unemployment rate increase in many countries, and despite the fact that market shares seem to goes up, I'd like to open this thread and discuss about the economic situation, and what are our personal point of view about all of this. The idea is not only to discuss about video game companies, but also about your personal situation, and maybe some other business area.
As some of you may know, my company (Wipro) is shuting down its activity in France, particularly our R&D center in Sophia Antipolis (please refer to http://wireless.leader.free.fr/index.php?Itemid=76 for further details about our situation), so that's why I have some interest in such thread.
If any of you is experimenting such situation (others are welcome as well :P), I'd like to discuss about your opinion about the economic situation, whether you have in mind to change of area, whether you have in mind to change of business area, whether you have already a back up solution, whether your job is secured, whether your company is in a good shape or not, etc.. etc...
I know it is not a funny thread, but today I think it is a good idea to share point of views about worldwide employment situation.
So please take anti-depressing medics, and share your opinion ;)
