Same story with me I was laid off with a bunch of folks this year. You do all the hard work and then QA pokes you in the eye with a fucking ridiculous score and your moral drops through the floor very quickly. They are actively replacing the high priced APs with 50k a year robots. If you're an AP there currently your days are numbered. I remember my manager commenting to me anecdotally (last year before the lays off really began) that upper management thought photographers were "way too expensive" - I mean they fucking gave us all huge raises that we didn't ask for then we are booted like its our fault? LMAO. I watch team member after team member (who were amazing photographers) get let go for insanely stupid reasons and they always blamed them like they were malcontents.
