It's Almost the Season for WOTC layoff!

Otherwise any speculation on my intent and content is just Mistwell being the Mistwell we've come to love and expect.

Ever since MerricB turned to the Dark Side,™ Sir Mistwell's the closest thing ENWorld has to an optimist.

Ride on, white knight! I salute you. I, for one, appreciate your lack of cynicism.

MerricB didn't turn to the dark side. His optimism simply couldn't withstand failure of the online character builder's magnitude. Anyway, they'd laid off so much, so regularly, for so long, they probably have the bare minimum to keep functioning at this point. They probably don't have enough to spare to lay off any more.

Off the top of my head, they gutted the fiction/novel editor staff later on in the year. I think there was one other smaller round

I am not aware of either of those layoffs as distinct from the one earlier layoff and did not see anything in a quick search. Do you have a link for either?

That's the same mid-year layoff.

I am not aware of any layoff in 2010, other than the single mid-year layoff. I know of a guy who was fired for stealing magic cards, but that's not a layoff.

It's sure looking like there was one layoff in 2010, and all this "constant layoffs" stuff is speculation and/or fiction.

That's the same mid-year layoff.

The novel editor layoff (Athans and Evans) happened over a month and a half after the RPG layoffs.

They probably don't have enough to spare to lay off any more.

Maybe in a Python-esque move, they laid off the person responsible for laying off the staff?
