Epic Games esports operations manager shares frustrations with layoffs ahead of massive Fortnite event

The Epic Games layoffs are hitting the Fortnite competitive scene hard. According to a Twitter thread from Fortnite Esports Operations Manager Jasmine Alson posted on Sep. 30, the layoffs have included several key behind-the-scenes workers in the ecosystem. To make matters worse, it seems the players that they were previously working for are actively trolling those who have been laid off.

Normally, I don't tweet (or X now idk) about things that frustrate me, but this week has been something else. My team has been preparing for months to put on one of the most complex events we've ever done. Plans are in place, and we're all hype for it (1/7)
