Thread regarding DreamWorks Animation SKG Inc. layoffs

I am from India and I can tell you that our numbers are being cut as well. It's not a happy situation here as well as most people like working from DWA and take a great pride in it. When it comes to quality, given that we typically have less experience, work (typically) with less advanced technologies (I know, I know, US folks are not happy with tech too) I think that the quality of work is outstanding given the circumstances. On the other hand, we are not blessed with a good standard of living, have much lower expectations from the employer, and most of have difficulty making ends meet even by local Indian standards. I have not come to US and took someone else's job, DWA came to my hometown, advertised here and went after many talented folks who could have been contributing for an Indian company as well. When you add things up, while I do get paid by DWA, DWA still keeps most of the profits for itself and only crumbles trickle down to me, on the other hand, my work helps an US company make money and hopefully do some amazing and cutting edge things. To end this on a less controversial note, I am truly sorry for all folks who lost their positions regardless of their geographic location - huge majority of DWA folks are VERY talented and will thrive and grow in any environment! Good luck to all!!!
