A reorganization at EA Montreal will result in a "small number" of layoffs, reports GamesIndustry International, where they received confirmation of layoff rumors directly from EA, though the company adds that: "Overall, we expect that EA's headcount will be up at the end of this year." Here's the statement about the job losses at the Army of Two developer:

EA Montreal is reorganizing some teams to focus on digital initiatives, including new mobile and social projects," EA corporate communications told us. "These are routine changes which address the cyclical nature of the game industry. A very small number of employees will be impacted - many will be assigned to new projects at EA, others will leave the company.

Being full of shit is in their job description. They go to school in learning how to be full of shit.
