EA workers say morale collapsed over AI mandates and mismanagement
Original: 'Morale has been terrible' at EA, workers claim, saying that AI mandates and mismanagement have left the company 'a cold
Electronic Arts employees are speaking out about deteriorating conditions inside the company, describing morale as 'terrible' and calling EA 'a cold dead place that's slowly decaying as leadership pilfers every last cent'. Workers blame forced AI adoption and poor management decisions, with one summarising the culture as 'EA executives cannot fail, only be failed.' The claims add to growing criticism of leadership at major games companies.
Why now: Frustrated EA staff publicly criticising AI mandates and leadership has struck a chord amid wider industry anxiety over AI and layoffs.
