Notably, one of those let go in December in Hasbro’s company-wide cost-cutting cull of over 1,000 jobs was D&D designer Dan Dillon. Dillon posted on Twitter—“Well. There it is. D&D is hiring a game designer, 8 months later. Was it worth it, you soulless f*****g cowards? Did you save enough money?”

Not , or 'that's like, your opinion, man'...

Those words are yours, not mine.

But we as unaffected onlookers can support those who speak up.

Morrus never laid someone off from EnPublishing. Those who wish to resist the megacorp should go buy ENproducts!

Agree. Posts like that never help career prospects. And for all those saying he has a job. Just because someone has a job doesn’t mean it is the one they want long term.

Why do people always assume that the people posting this haven't made that consideration, and it's worth it to them to shine a light on this?

Lol. The I quoted was physically copied from your post.

But I do agree with the sentiment of the rest of that post I responded to.

Gearing up for the next "non edition" possibly.

6e isn't going to write itself.

 

[Morrus]

Lol. The I quoted was physically copied from your post.

The rest wasn’t, though, was it? Please do not attribute made-up quotes to people. It’s disingenuous, and it reduces the possibility of meaningful conversation.

 

[Morrus]

Morrus never laid someone off from EnPublishing.

Not entirely true.

 

[Micah Sweet]

Right. Before posting this. Being branded a hot head and slagging previous employers... not the best career move.

I expect he feels he can get away with it, considering the particular previous employer in question.

 

[DarkCrisis]

Only if you like food and shelter. Most of us don't have other options. We can't all be both angry with our employers and wealthy enough not to take what they offer.

Never said you don't have to play their game. Doesn't mean you have to be thankful for the abuse.

Whatever happened, not a thing to get upset about.

Easy for you to say, it wasn't your job. Whether or not posting about it in anger is a separate question, but should he not feel angered about this? I'd be kind of pissed off it were me.

Maybe the takeaway here should be more along the lines of "not a thing to police anybody else's feelings over".
