First off sorry for all of the employees that will be affected by the cuts. On one hand, it seems that if there is a contraction in the employment market, there would be less need for LinkedIn job boards and the staff around it. On the other hand, Microsoft is doling $69B for Activision Blizzard and I assume that money needs to be made up from some where. I can't imagine what is going to be like Activision Blizzard employees after the merger.
