Is it time for the annual WotC pre-Christmas layoff already?

Is it time for the annual WotC pre-Christmas layoff already?

I mean, they haven't done that in over a decade, what with the game doing well and all.

These days I have to imagine that if you have any sort of strong WotC / D&D credit on your resume you can move on to another creative position elsewhere for probably better money... or you have made enough connections in the business that you can decide to go independent and make your own stuff and still maintain your standard of living.

What? Someone leaves to go to another job after being with a company for over a decade? The sky is falling!

I think we're missing a golden opportunity for a betting game here. Anyone have an org chart for WotC with years of service? We could make Bingo boards....

They tend to evolve the house when they start making preparations for a new edition. People are likely aware of that trend and getting ahead of the issue by finding a good position early, rather than scrambling for any position late.

Time to dust off the resume

 

[Zardnaar]

6E confirmed.

 

[Lyxen]

6E confirmed.

Wouldn't it be the exact opposite ?

There was a recent thread about salaries in RPG creative positions, kicked off by none less than Sean K. Reynolds sharing salary information. No, there isn't really better pay out there in the field, and at least WotC has benefits as well.
