QA is the lowest position in every game company and is often a dead end position in all of them. At least in the US the vast majority are temp employees. For them to be complaining about getting laid off from QA means they didn't know what they were signing up for.
QA is just college kids earning some cash on the side. The pay sucks but the work is not hard, the workers are easily replaceable and everyone knows it. It has an upside of being fun since your colleagues are going to probably be guys who like video games (no idea if this holds true but a long time ago it was a lot of fun). I wonder if they set affirmative action for QA, would be interesting since getting a 50-50 guys/girls in QA seems hard to achieve not to mention making it a horrible job.
