 Posted: Thu Apr 22, 2004 19:16 Post subject: More on IPLY |
 |
|
According to several sources it seems like IPLY is really in a bundle when it comes to money, they evidently haven't paid the employees health insurance payments, here's what I found out:Interplay haven't been paying the health insurance payments for the last few months, it seems IPLY recently revealed this to their employees and several just left the meeting. They also told the employees that they really didn't have to come in this week, since there's a good chance they won't be paid. Wow, this is truly sad news for the employees of IPLY but that's what you get for fooling around with the Caen brothers.

| I hope the remaining masses of employees can all find new jobs. If I were them i wouldn't expect to be seeing any money from Interplay for a while, if ever. |

Well rumours are everywhere, just read this one on RPGCodex:
| Quote: |
There's supposed to be a big meeting at Interplay on Friday (4/23). The employees are going to find out if they are getting their backpay or not.
Stories going through the grapevine said that Herve tried to sell Interplay to Vivendi this week and got laughed out of the building for the price that he was asking.
I expect Interplay to close its doors tomorrow (4/23) at least for development, and file for bankruptcy soon after. |

I'll betcha Herver will still maintain all of his bonuses, or are already paid out etc. That's how management works you know... U take the 6 zero's and the rest goes home with broken bones and NO health insurance.
Liberalism rox don't it?
