“It is incredibly difficult to watch our team face the uncertainty of today’s job market. I may never get over the irony of spending a decade building my dream team, only to have it end after our most productive year. The dedication, creativity and hard work of each person on our team has been extraordinary,” added the creative.
Finally, they announced that they will help their employees find new opportunities in the industry. He asked companies to take developers into account, since there are very talented people in their ranks.
