What should you do if you’re one of the thousands of tech workers who have just been laid off? Take a coastal trip or join the gig economy until the market recovers—at least, that’s according to ex-Sony Computer Entertainment Europe president Chris Deering.
Deering, who led Sony’s European PlayStation business from 1995 to 2005, compared sweeping cuts in the gaming industry to being “like the pandemic”, while downplaying the role of corporate greed and dishing out controversial advice to impacted workers.
