"There's an ongoing process of reshuffling people, but that's not something we do just because of integration. As an ongoing process that's taking place all across the organisation looking at all of our foot prints - Square Enix Tokyo, Taito and ex-Eidos offices, have seen about 10 per cent reduction of headcount globally. Well, it's been 119 days since the integration, and the process has been very smooth. The organisational integration is almost fully complete. Just last week we had a Town Hall meeting of all the employees here [in Wimbledon] so that I could congratulate them on the integration and their hard work going forward. So, as an organisation we've completed integration and we want to work harder on the exchanges between the studios - in fact, this has already been happening. ...having a single cultural identity would be, I think, the wrong path to pursue." - Square-Enix president Yoichi Wada

Square-Enix takes on two more companies, and then they reduce workforce by 10%. That seems like an awful lot of people to get rid of after some high-profile company shifting. Something tells me this deal could have worked out a lot better for everyone involved, instead of just the higher-ups.
