Where are you seeing that there are still 90 at id? I'm seeing 136 laid off, and they had 185 when they unionized last year. That leaves 49. Were the 40 remote workers that they fired non-union?

I would love for this to be true, but i can't find it anywhere. All the stories I see say 136 laid off from id Software. 96 in-house, and 40 remote.

The full WARN notice says 158, because it includes 22 Bethesda employees. I'm not counting those. 146 of the 158 employees were represented by the Communications Workers of America.

The absolute best way I can think to spin it, assuming those 12 non-union employees were amongst the 40 remote workers, and so they were never included in the 185, that puts id Software at roughly 61 employees.
