I'm sure this has nothing to do with the upcoming SAG-AFTRA strike since no deal was reached yesterday. I'm sure Epic is ensuring that no union workers are being fired immediately before an authorized strike.

Honestly, I'll bet it truly doesn't. Lots of places are laying off lots of workers right now, and Epic spent money like there's no tomorrow (and now it's tomorrow).
Isn't that strike for voice actors? These layoffs are of IT people.
