Big Fish staff criticise redundancy packages

Staff facing the axe at the Big Fish gaming company in Cork claim they are being offered redundancy packages “barely above minimum legal amounts”.

The jobs losses come despite US-based Big Fish recording its 11th straight year of record revenue.

The workers’ claim was contained in a statement on their Big Fish V Small Fish blog yesterday. Addressed to newly promoted company president John Holland, it included a stinging attack on senior company executives over the way the closure announcement was handled.
