On my second job, they hired me in February and fired me in November of same year ( they cut off 20 people, 10% of total workers in that branch office, mostly us newbies). Come June next year, same company is hiring again, this time around 30 people. At least they called most of us that got fired and offered us our old jobs back. On the other hand, Hasbro stock is doing ok. It dropped down from 71 in September to 66 but it holds at that rate. Hasbro gives 4.2% annual dividend on stock, which isn't bad. As a very small new shareholder, hope these layoffs don't impact stock prices.</blockquote>
