If you went to work for WotC in the last 20+ years, you know they're doing these on the regular, you knew what you were getting into. If not, then this is a good learning experience. I'm a (semi) fan of D&D, not a fan of WotC/Hasbro and don't know the people working there and I don't expect that the people that worked on the products I liked in the last 35 years, still work there.And people here are a tad bit unreasonable. Do you expect that people keep working at the company when they don't get fired? If they leave, are they suddenly bad people and are traitors? Especially if they leave for another better paying job? No, that's 'normal', so why the different standards?I did some local research (I live in the Netherlands):<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">About 6.5% of the working population leave their current company every quarter.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Of that about 2/3rds do that voluntary, 1/6th are fired by the company, and 1/6th is unknown.</li> </ul>If we use these stats for the US...- The actual working population in the US is almost 170 million, that would translate to ~30 million people being fired every quarter.Hasbro fired another 100 people... Whoopie! It might be annoying for the people being fired, but in my experience, being let go has generally been beneficial, getting better jobs in return (usually getting better pay).And the reactions towards the owners (investors) of the company. Sure they are rich enough to invest/own a big company, this is pure jealousy! Just about everyone wants to be 'rich' (what that means is different for different people), but most people aren't and see that as a license to hate on people who are. If you hire a gardener to do the garden, do you have to keep paying your gardener if you pave your garden and don't need a gardener anymore? You have a contract with your employer, where you can leave with X amount of notice and they can fire you with Y amount of notice. Why are companies => people 'evil' when they follow the contract both parties agreed to?</blockquote>
