Workiversaries in the game industry are bittersweet these days. It's tricky celebrating career milestones when it seems like every other week, hundreds of people lose their livelihoods all at once. For CD Projekt Red localization QA analyst Paula Mackiewicz-Armstrong, who recently hit eight years with the studio, it's simply a moment of gratitude for stability in a very unstable environment.
"It's quite strange reflecting on it, cause instead of celebrating achievements or releases, my thoughts turn to the situation in the industry," Mackiewicz-Armstrong writes in a recent Linkedin post. "Here I am, 8 years and counting, and over at Epic, 1000 people just lost their jobs."
