Luckily for me I decided to leave DWA before this terrible news, I feel very sorry for my ex-colleagues who are going through this.
Anyway, I felt it was really a weird working environment over there. Way to many people doing very little work, I had to beg the prod sup to get assets to work on, or I could wait days without getting any assignments to do, no wonder these movie are expensive.
Also my feeling is that there is bunch of outdated dinosaurs who never wanted to learn new tools/workflow, probably because it was confortable not to think too much and eat free food.
I really hope DWA is going to become a much more efficient company, with tighter and smarter management of its human ressources. And they should spend less money in all these company events, like bringing PDI staff to Glendale for useless games, free food, exec helicopters, planes..etc.. it's not necessary.
And...how can you trust a guy that giving millions to Obama campaign and then choose Murdoch to distribute his movies?!
