[QUOTE="Scott_Rouse, post: 3594416, member: 51773"] I am sorry you feel that way but I don't think Merric was talking about the company as much as the people. In many ways Hasbro/WOTC is big company like any other. They have shareholders, a corporate hierarchy, make un-popular decisions, and sometimes fire people. Work at wotc is fun, maybe the best job I have ever had but like a lot of jobs sometimes it sucks to drag your a$$ out of bed to go deal with office politics etc. More time than not I have a day where someone reminds me that WoTC is not like all companies and is a great place to work. Today I was forwarded about a dozen emails from US soldiers serving in Iraq. Regardless of how you feel about the war, these men and women have one of the hardest, suckiest jobs in the world and one minute of their jobs makes my worst day look like a walk in the park. The reason we got the emails was to thank us for all the employees from wotc who donated games from their product allowances to Ziggurat con, the first ever game convention in a war zone. Wotc employees collected and donated over $15,000 of personal product to the con and this is being distributed to soldiers all around Iraq. I am not telling this story to earn any brownie points. I don't have a burning need to create some online kumbaya moment where you think we are nice company. But I do want you to know that the actions of a company do not always reflect on how the employees are themselves. In the case of WotC it is the employees that make the company agreat place to work and personally it' smy co-wrorkers that give me the motivation to get up every morning to go to work. So if you want to be bitter about the corporation, fine but don't harsh out on the people who work there. [/QUOTE]
