More lay-offs at WOTC!

Maybe someone has already posted this and I missed it, but several sources, including www.gamingreport.com are reporting that WOTC has layed-off up to 100 individuals, and some of them are rather important to the d20 world.

Among the layed-off, according to gamingreport.com are:

Skip Williams
Jeff Grubb
JD Wiker

Havent Skip and Jeff been working for WOTC for quite a while? I find the firing of those two quite surprising.

JD was the rulekeeper for the SW RPG system. He was the guy who would answer our queries.

This could get quite ugly for us D&D/Star Wars d20 gaming fans.

Could you close the other one? I posted this first. The other thread started after this one.

The other thread was posted 2 minutes before this one, according to the time stamp. not that it matters, because I can't seem to close either right now. Stupid computers. I hate 'em.

S'OK. It's mildy amusing. It was there a good hour before Gaming Report got it though.

man your good! timing is everything!

where'd you get your news from, huh? huh?

 

[greymarch]

Its where you put the news item that delayed everyone from reading in at enworld.org. You put the lay-offs information at the bottom of the news for today. Gaming report has their story at the top of their website right now. If you have already read enworld.org today, you might miss your report regarding the lay-offs. Good job posting it so quickly Morrus, but next time, a news items of this magnitude should be put at the top or near the top of your website.

Sean Reynolds was kind enough to drop me a note. I had to do some digging after that, though.

More importantly, though, Nicole Lindroos mentioned it on these boards 2 weeks ago, so I was waiting for it.

    I take it you don't know about Morrus and his deal with the gnomes?

Bah! Damn my slow internet connection. I have been following this story all day. I think it broke several hours ago, when JD Wiker posted on the official SW boards that he had been fired. That started the avalanche of speculation today that lead to confirmations.
