Whole Maryland office is being “consolidated” with Austin. They offered to move us to Austin if we want. How fucking generous.
Assholes at the top are the reason they’re losing money, production as far as I can tell was quite lean and putting out lots of product. They’re just gonna lop an arm off and hope it works out, and fuck the rest of us now out of a job cause they can’t balance overhead.
“Keep Austin weird” died decades ago.
It only ever was weird in the most middle class, white, liberal definition of the word.
Having come out of the music scene in that part of the US, I vehemently disagree. There used to be some really cool weird shit. That’s been displaced now and the slogan has been co-opted, sure, but that doesn’t mean it wasn’t rad as fuck a couple of decades ago.
