Joshua is one of our members who was impacted by the recent layoffs. Now he has an even harder fight ahead of him.

Please support his campaign and check out his thread to see if you have a role that might be right for him.

Not only did I just lose my job at IGN but I was diagnosed with a rare, aggressive cancer.

I've never been one to ask for charity, but I'm broke, dying, and desperate. If you've enjoyed my work over the years, please consider contributing to my gofundme.

Now that everything has been signed, we wanted to provide an update to our absolutely incredible community of supporters. After a weeks-long fight over the effects of these layoffs, IGNCG has reached a settlement deal with Management. 🧵 (1/4)

L.A. is lucky to have leaders like Eunisses, and we are endlessly thankful for how much our community has had our backs throughout this process.

Unexpected layoffs continue to impact workers here in Los Angeles and across the country. The members of IGN Creators Guild deserve to sit at the bargaining table with management to outline a just plan of action and implement measures to prevent this from happening again.

Please help us urge management to return to the bargaining table. We're not asking for much. We just want our laid off colleagues to be treated fairly, and to set a precedent for the rest of us to similarly be protected from surprising and unnecessary loss of our livelihoods.

'Nearly a month after the union was voluntarily recognized by management, the IGN Creators Guild has filed an unfair labor practice charge against the company, alleging bad-faith bargaining.'

Thanks for your reporting, Katie Kilkenny and The Hollywood Reporter

When it rains, it pours.

What a time to get laid off and lose my IGN medical benefits at the end of the month.

No presence at the bargaining table.
No response to our union since taking this public.
No jobs for our colleagues impacted by the needless layoff.

We're working GDC too. Where are you?

🔥Union contracts negotiated in 2023 resulted in an average first-year wage increase off 6.6%, the HIGHEST average pay raise for any year since Bloomberg Law began tracking the number in 1988.

When we fight together, it pays off—literally. news.bloomberglaw.com/bloomberg-law-…

Still waiting for our leaders to come work with us to make sure our colleagues are taken care of and treated with dignity. I'm glad they voluntarily recognized our union but doing so means committing to actually bargaining!

Had the honor of interviewing Yoko Shimomura about her incredible career ahead of her Lifetime Achievement Award honor at GDC tonight. She's just...wildly cool and earnest and lovely.

We have currently heard nothing from IGN Management or their counsel on our filing. Meanwhile, our three impacted members still remain in limbo.

IGN is a global brand, as are the media giants reporting on their callousness. The world is watching.
