[QUOTE="wicked cool, post: 9223825, member: 85714"] Hey I live in the real world Been laid off multiple times-yes Xmas stinks but in some ways it’s better than say October. Most big companies close/shave books after quarter 3 except retail. You look to improve the bottom line Retail does the opposite for people like us. Retail hires for the Xmas push and then often they are let go shortly after the return item season ends I’m still using a lot of products that are made by companies that fired people this year such as Google etc. the person at has to is no different than the layoffs. At the mom and op store that closed because their lease was out (so you got hired to be something at downtown store a and that closed once the lease was up and they couldn’t pay their bills) . Isn’t anyone else noticing more and more stores getting closed and nobody is filling these spots for years and when they do it’s either a 3 year store or it’s a chipotle type place I live in the east coast of USA. I buy most of my wotc products online and at my local game store. My local Barnes and noble doesn’t stock these 3rd party publishers of RPGs as they don’t sell. My local game store specializes in games workshop type games, Pokémon, magic and d&d. They do what retailers do and they pack up almost the entire store and bring it to pax east in the hopes that it carries them through (pax east is clearly Xmas part 1 for them) I’m not hearing great things about working for other companies that are big or small when it comes to gaming. Didn’t paizo unionize because conditions are not great? Quick search results are not great? Didn’t their ceo make a ton as well I have a friend of a friend that works at hasbro(I think still ) and she seemed to love working there and she clearly had an upbeat personality and it sounded like a great place to work A lot of this is in my opinion is the whole orc fiasco and yet doesn’t apple Microsoft etc do this all the time? Why is it that the ceos of big hospitals/corps/colleges/sports teams etc make so much money? Why doesn’t blank company say sorry ceo of blank you aren’t making 1/2 a million plus etc a year plus bonus plus a parachute etc. why is a new dodger baseball player or a soccer player making just as much? They have potential or a track record for making money and in some cases you’re buying that product. You bought that yankee hat because you either enjoy the product or you want to be associated with it (Nike north face etc etc) [/QUOTE]
