Oh sht! Time to resub?

A beautiful collage of IGNCG members (and our lovely rep) in a Zoom meeting, prepping to negotiate a fair contract for their coworkers.

It's been a ✨while✨ since we've posted, huh?

That's because our Bargaining team has been DEEP in negotiations over our first contract for over a year now.

But we're finally getting towards the end, and we're hopeful that we can come to a fair agreement!

I mean how could you say no to these faces?

❤️❤️❤️

HBD!

after flying back from Vegas last week, I was just laid off from Inverse today. I'm open to connecting over email at shannon@flashinfics.com and I'm definitely still in the writing and editing space. Expect a more in-depth explanation coming soon in my Updater newsletter. shannonliao.substack.com

Breaks my heart to share this, but today is my last day at The Verge and I am looking for work! I'd really like to stay in video games, preferably in some kind of journalistic capacity but I can do PR/Marketing and maybe even a lil Narrative Design. Please get in touch!
