OneBGS: Save Our Devs March

Following Xbox layoffs on July 7, OneBGS, the union representing Bethesda Game Studios workers, is planning a demonstration march on the public sidewalks outside offices, including the ZeniMax building in Austin at 9420 Research Blvd, at 11:30 a.m. Wednesday, July 15. Details are available at ActionNetwork.

Microsoft and ZeniMax leadership have made the devastating decision to slash over 440 positions across BGS, ZOS, id, ZWU(QA) and ZeniMax corporate(including CTO and CSUR). Because we organized and certified our Unions, we have hard-won legal rights and protections that non-unionized studios simply do not have.

The company wants us to accept this as a done deal and quietly disappear. We won’t let that happen. Our next steps are to mobilize. We need every single member visible and unified. To that end, we are announcing our Save Our Devs March across all studios on Wednesday July 15th.

We need to show management right now that we mean business, so they will properly take care of our fellow co-workers today and think twice before ever attempting something like this again. Stay strong, look out for one another, and we look forward to seeing us all marching together on the 15th.

In solidarity,

The OneBGS Mobilizing Committee
