Economy Eurozone Construction Keeps Shrinking As Orders And Jobs Fall Construction activity, new orders, and jobs in France and Germany took another hit in September, while Italy stood out with rare gains—but cost pressures and weak demand still weigh heavily across the region. Construction activity across the eurozone slumped again last month, with the HCOB Construction PMI falling to 46.0—showing continued declines in major markets like France and Germany, even though Italy bucked the trend with rare growth. What does this mean? Eurozone builders are having a rough ride. September saw new orders tumble in both France and Germany, dragging down residential and commercial construction to their lowest points in months. Layoffs are picking up in these countries as firms react to thin pipelines and soft demand.

Ready to take your game development career to the next level? Join the Game Dev Leadership Accelerator: https://forms.gle/nqRTUvgFrtdYuCbr6 Do layoffs mean studio leadership is bad? While the popular answer is often "yes," the truth is more complex. Layoffs can reveal many things, from bad times in the market to failures to manage finances to corporate greed. But if you're a leader, the real test is how you behave when your company's survival is on the line. Trent Kusters, the co-founder and Studio Head of League of Geeks, joins Ben Carcich for a deeply personal and frank discussion about his experience of laying off almost all of his employees and transitioning the studio into hibernation. Trent argues that leaders are often "ignorant and or untrained" in the critical business, legal, and ethical frameworks needed to navigate a shutdown event with compassion and integrity. In this discussion, you'll learn: ✅ Why financial foresight and business savvy matter ✅ The true costs of a studio shutdown (even hidden ones like clearing out old desks) ✅ How to build a “rip zone” into your balance sheet to protect everyone ✅ Why living your company values—even when it costs hundreds of thousands—builds a true home for talent ✅ A five-point framework for planning, communicating, and managing a human-centric layoff Trent's GDC Talk (requires GDC Vault Access) : https://gdcvault.com/play/1035252/Leaders-Working-at-the-Heart Learn more about Trent Kusters:

Some interviews stick because they take a noisy topic and bring it back to reality. This was one of them. I spoke with Erin Gajdalo, CEO of Pluralsight, about what it actually takes to upskill a workforce in an AI era that seems to change by the week. We compared boardroom intent with day-to-day practice, and Erin was refreshingly clear about both. Pluralsight began more than twenty years ago in classrooms, moved online as the market shifted, and now supports Fortune 500 teams with expert-led courses, hands-on labs, and the admin tools leaders need to measure progress at scale. The thread running through the whole story is simple: people learn by doing, and companies get value when that learning maps to real work. We talked about AI in her own workflow first. Erin uses it to draft presentations, crunch data, and speed up research, then pushes that mindset across the company through focused sprints where every department experiments and reports back. That culture piece matters. Pluralsight's latest research found that 61 percent of respondents still think using generative AI is “lazy,” which drives employees to adopt tools in the shadows and exposes the business to avoidable risk. Her answer is clear guidance, safe environments to practice, and permission to test without fear of failure. The payoff shows up in real examples. One financial services firm raised prompt engineering efficiency by 20 percent and saved 1,600 hours in three months by pairing assessments with prescriptive learning paths and hands-on practice. We also explored the fear that keeps people quiet. Layoff headlines travel faster than case studies, and that skews the mood inside many teams. Erin makes a straightforward case. Treat AI as an assistant that improves standard and repetitive tasks, protect the business with clear policies, then invest in education for everyone, not only engineers. Close the confidence gap with data. Baseline skills, prescribe learning, measure proficiency, and tie improvements to actual tasks. When leaders show their own work and give teams room to try things, adoption follows. The conversation finished on the future. Technical skills will keep evolving, but the standout advantage will be a willingness to learn and the soft skills that carry ideas from prototype to production. Erin also shared a personal goal that resonated with me. She would love a private breakfast with Serena Williams to talk about Serena Ventures and backing founders from underrepresented groups. It fit the theme of the episode. Talent is everywhere. Opportunity appears when someone opens a door and stays long enough to help you through it. If you want the full story, including how Pluralsight is updating its platform for scale and how leaders can reduce “shadow AI” without slowing innovation, you can find their research and resources at Pluralsight.com. ********* Visit the Sponsor of Tech Talks Network: Land your first job in tech in 6 months as a Software QA Engineering Bootcamp with Careerist https://crst.co/OGCLA
