[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 9224067, member: 6801845"] The toy business side of things hasn't been doing well, and the majority of layoffs are with those divisions. Perhaps there was some general headcount reduction policy, perhaps it was just the corporate version of housekeeping where they changed some policies to streamline the entire company a bit. My best guess would be that managers at every level had to justify their headcount. They took a look at the fact that the vast majority of work for the 2024 edition has been completed and it's difficult to predict how well the revision will be received. It's quite likely eOne is not particularly relevant, it's all about projected staff requirements for existing products, even successful ones, and forecasts for the coming year. Since the reception of the 2024 edition is uncertain, those forecasts may be conservative. In any case, businesses large and small ay off people now and then. It's not exactly earth shattering news.
