I'm pretty sure regardless of what edition she worked on, it's a bad thing.
I'm not talking about the lay off in general. If she was doing her job well then she wouldn't have been laid off. Art is a major section of D&D and I'm sure she wasn't laid for cut back reasons.

Good ol' WotC, laying people off just in time for the holidays. Such a wonderful place to work!
They somehow always manage to lay off the wrong people.

Wow. Personal attacks on someone you don't know and don't have a clue as to what their situation is?
Stay classy, San Diego.

Wow. That's... I can't even fathom why you would post something like that.
So, just to clarify, you think that the following people, going back to 2000, were all laid off because they were doing their jobs poorly? That's a really inappropriate thing to say in response to somebody's bad news.
