The community still wants to act like RT is this intimate underdog operation and the personalities are their friends, but that went away a long time ago. RELATED: DC Hit with Layoffs Amid Restructuring In light of these new layoffs, Hullum has wished the best to those let go, explaining he is "thankful for the passion and creativity that they brought to Rooster Teeth, and grateful for the friendships we’ve formed." They've had to slow down and restructure. Its painful, but it might turn out to be something the company really needed. I don’t mean that pejoratively at all, but the audience needs to accept that the dynamic has changed. The community manager says he wasn’t laid off, but Pat’s not the only person this is happening to before the holidays, and Sean has publicly commented: “FWIW I've been in the workplace for almost 35 years. I just hope that people will be making sure he is okay. Restructuring, and making tough decisions that are for the greater good. The trimmed a bit of fat around the edges in terms of redundant positions or over-hiring editors, and the shuttered their game dev team after the Vicious Circle disaster.

They're a division of Warner and that means the company founded by four goofy guys from Texas making dick jokes is dead and gone. For example: 2 pharmaceutical giants are merging or one has been acquired by the other, they don't necessarily need 2 advertising departments, so they weed out the lower performers or the highest cost individuals to make the department as a whole more efficient and cost effective. The amount of people that still talk about Rooster teeth like its still just a group of Buddies in an apartment in Texas is actually embarassing. Just like how they used to do studio tours and local meet ups. Rooster Teeth hosts Ryan Haywood and Adam Kovic have become embroiled in a controversy surrounding explicit photos they reportedly sent to … Literally if any other company in the entertainment industry did this nobody would bat an eye.

What if y’all got laid off? Rooster Teeth says it has parted ways with two employees amid Ryan Haywood and Adam Kovic leak controversy Thu Oct 08, 2020 at 1:18am ET Fri Oct 09, 2020 at 1:18 am EDT By Jerry Brown Leave a comment You can't do that forever.

So long story short, these layoffs weren't surprising to anyone who can see the writing on the walls of how M&A works within firms.

The acquisition of RT by a larger firm probably also came with a full audit of the company, which is relatively the norm for large scale M&A activities like acquiring RoosterTeeth by Warner. Definitely agree with you in that second part. Contraction was going to happen at some point. The major online media company, Rooster Teeth, announced today that they would be laying off 13% of their staff, or roughly 50 people.In July they said to have had 419 employees.

The business model that built Rooster Teeth was to "catch lightning in a bottle" at low stakes and then build on it.

Primarily, I'd like to focus on the MASSIVE amounts of mergers & acquisitions (M&A) that have happened within the company in the past 5 years. Either he did something really serious, or something serious might be happening at RT. And you probably won't have sufficient foresight to see it all coming. The heads have always said that they wanted to be on TV, get shows like immersion, Haunter, and other ideas into the bigger screens of our homes and possibly even theaters. We won't comment on individuals' employment statuses but these were individual decisions and not the result of any layoffs. So now the company has an issue, too many cooks in the kitchen.

Let me know what you all think down below! These situations are always so delicate and speculation will always run rampant, so I won't participate in that.

Edit 3: I didn't expect this to blow up so much, so I moved edit 2 (the one where I say I don't actually work for RT) to the top of the post so it's very very clear that I don't work for RT. For the first time in its 16-year history, Rooster Teeth -- the Austin-based production house behind such web series as Red vs. Blue, RWBY and gen:LOCK -- has been hit with major layoffs.

Fuuuck people are missing the concern so hard. That's not exactly an easy position to slot someone into, and he likely had/has a lot of inside knowledge about RWBY's art style and world design that'll be hard to just hand off to someone else.

Firing people is still a shit thing, even if its for the sake of "business" upping costs, lowering quality and poor community management are also shitty things regarless of them being a business and needing to make money, New comments cannot be posted and votes cannot be cast, More posts from the roosterteeth community. He posts about his struggles with his mental health and self esteem a lot, and seems to often be quite troubled.

You can point to the changes being made at animation. Maybe if it makes sense from a business perspective it is still bad from every other perspective, since after all, a company's first duty is to their shareholders bottom line, not the good of society, your workers, the climate, or anything else. I get that the primary dynamic of a lot of their productions is that they're supposed to convey a sense of just being with friends (Like the RT Podcast or AH) but you can still see the backbones of business in everything they do and the people who say they cant are just lying to themselves at this point. Who was the Head Art Director, I’m still going through tweets trying to figure out the scope of things. The layoffs at Rooster Teeth, the … Hey y'all - Rooster Teeth did not lay off anyone today and we are not going through layoffs currently. MASSIVE layoffs are coming to WarnerMedia in the very near future.

We don’t know the full story, and we’re not entitled to it. That’s job hunting and possible eviction. Yuuuup! At the end of the day, RT is a business, and who they hire and fire is their decision, and no one else’s. Non-profit, educational or personal use tips the balance in favor of Fair Use.

Rooster Teeth, for the first time in its 16-year history, has made a broad cutback in its workforce — laying off 13% of its employees, or about 50 staffers. The major online media company, Rooster Teeth, announced today that they would be laying off 13% of their staff, or roughly 50 people. Fair use is a use permitted by copyright statute that might otherwise be infringing. Layoffs are seen as your pal getting the ax. Rooster Teeth, for the first time in its 16-year history, has made a broad cutback in its workforce — laying off 13% of its employees, or about 50 staffers. More issues occur for Rooster Teeth as they lay off 13% of their staff! At the end of the day, they've gone from a ~400 person company, to a ~350 person company.

Two more Rooster Teeth employees are under fire for inappropriate conduct. With all of that, there is BOUND to be redundancies with employee skills and knowledge capital, and thus areas for cost cutting measures to take place to ensure the betterment for the whole company. We’re talking THOUSANDS of entertainment industry employees suddenly unemployed in the coming days and weeks. Its gonna have a significant impact, but ultimately should make the studio better for the creators and the viewers. Apologizes for any confusion regarding that. It seems apparent they've overreached a bit recently. Businesses exist but people make it happen.

Small note here: Cowchop / Creatures were not acquired by RT.

Is this layoff a sign that RoosterTeeth is going downhill?

Maybe they weren’t doing their job to RT’s standards, maybe there were other circumstances we don’t know about. When any firm acquires another, it is to be expected to see layoffs due to redundancies from the two firms having similar business functions and/or industries. TLDR: the only surprising thing about the layoffs is that it took this long for RT to layoff people considering their explosive growth and large amount of Mergers & Acquisitions in the past 5 years.

The news was leaked to Deadline before WarnerMedia had even told its own employees. No one has been upset that layoffs happened. Yeah I can easily see RT getting back to the size they were at within two years. For further information read the full post. No, not in the slightest.

None of us should really be thinking too heavily about internal layoffs because as sad as it is for all those involved, it’s not any of our business. Roosterteeth is fine, and layoffs were to be expected after so much Merger & Acquisition activities and here's an explanation from someone in HR. Aside from these lay offs, Rooster Teeth also had a number of key employees departing from the company at intervals throughout the year. For instance, they only need one department for: accounting, marketing, HR, facility management.

I work in corporate legal, you're right that the people only surprising thing is this hasn't happened sooner.

They partnered with them, for merch and a place to post their videos besides Youtube.

A subreddit for content regarding Rooster Teeth Productions, including Red vs. Blue, Achievement Hunter, RWBY, Rooster Teeth Podcast, etc. There’s bound to be some aggression. Please remember to be respectful to these individuals during this time. Your employees suffer and live in a constant state of terror over hiring a less senior doppelganger with similar skills. https://www.reddit.com/r/roosterteeth/comments/ebi4et/there_may_have_been_another_round_of_rt_animation/fb51yy8/, New comments cannot be posted and votes cannot be cast, More posts from the roosterteeth community.
