Former Telltale employee launches lawsuit against studio

A few days agone, Telltale Games announced that it was closing downwardly. The executives terminated roughly 250 employees, some of which had relocated and started positions less than a week before the proclamation. The studio didn't offer those employees severance or any other warning that this might happen.

Vernie Roberts, a Telltale employee, has initiated a class-action lawsuit against his former employer, stating that the company violated labor laws by not informing employees earlier their termination. According to a report by Polygon, "the federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, stipulates that nigh businesses with at least a hundred full-time workers must notify employees sixty days in advance of any plant closings or mass layoffs."

Information technology's obvious that the manner in which Telltale closed was flawed and irresponsible. The fact that executives are partnering with potential partners to go along The Walking Dead: The Final Season and not offering erstwhile employees severance is questionable to say the to the lowest degree. Hopefully the courts volition find in favor of the employees.

There are reports that Telltale has filed for bankruptcy. If this happens, and so fifty-fifty a win won't get the employees any compensation unless the regime determines that Telltale executives lied about their financial situation. We'll keep you posted as soon as we know more than. Hopefully those terminated volition be able to find positions in the gaming industry soon. There need to be more protections for those who work as developers then that those individuals can avoid such precarious situations.
