It’s my 6 year anniversary at Riot! Continuously grateful that I get to work with some of the best and that I get to work on something I’m incredibly passionate about. Looking forward to what 2024 has in store. 🥰

Unfortunately, I was impacted by the layoffs. I’m incredibly thankful for the amazing people I’ve met & worked with & truly cherished my time at Riot. I’m looking for new opportunities. I have HR & project management experience, w/ the last 3 yrs focus on global esports events.

Hi, all. 🤍 It's been a wild 24 hours. I'm still processing. It's been 6 years, and I'd hoped there would be many more at Riot. Thank you to all who've reached out w/ kind words, support, etc. I so appreciate it. I'll make a lengthier post at some point when I have the energy.

I made a masterlist of Riot employees impacted by the layoffs. If you're not on the list + want to be added or are on the list but info is incorrect/missing, please DM me + I'll update it for you. There's also tab of leads to companies + resources! bit.ly/3U7hOvV

I’m so thankful for those I’ve met through Riot. Last night, some of us grabbed dinner to check in & I’ve also gotten messages of support that mean the world to me. Y’all are what made Riot special. So many passionate people who lead with empathy. TY for constantly inspiring me.

There is no version of Riot layoffs where amazing developers are unimpacted; that's the tragedy. If you're wondering why so many talented developers that made incredible things were laid off it's because that is the only kind of person at Riot.

I'll probably start streaming more again. Probably not as much GW2 (but maybe?), we'll see -- I'll look through my backlog. I plan to stream Clash tonight, might be playing up to Tier 2 so you'll at least see my friends shine even if I lose lane. 🥲 twitch.tv/xylese

I received my first rejection from a role, and when I told my friend, “I’m sad,” he replied “You should be sad for them. Now they have the tragedy of not employing you.” And honestly? Thank god for this energy bc it made me laugh, feel less bad, and move onto the next thing. 🥲

Elden Ring lore to study and relax to is my new favorite thing, ty Square Table Gaming 😌 youtu.be/m7XFl1bMeew?si…
