With The Saboteur developer Pandemic having laid off a majority of its staff and relocated a "core team" to Electronic Arts' Los Angeles campus, a few former employees have produced a video tribute in honor of those affected.

"Former members of The Saboteur team do some Office Space," Pandemic said of the video via Twitter. Be forewarned that the clip is not-work-safe due to its music.

lol poor dudes, bad ass movie tho ;)

Hate how companies wait for someone to make a game then lay em off.

Remember that whole BS fiasco when EA got Pandemic, didn't they say they were gonna leave em alone? Bioware might be next, we'll see.
