Paid millions to make a greedy clumsy move that backfires predictably for anyone who actually understands how this stuff works, leading to widespread boycotts, blame it on "malaise", and keep your job while all the actual producers are laid off for Christmas. Good work if you can get it
Every CEO/Gaming Company this year ... " I have an idea ... if we get rid of everyone before the end of the year, it will appear that we are a viable investment and we save our bonuses and stocks ... "
Wizards of the Coast started doing Christmas layoffs back in the 90s before Hasbro bought them. People who run corporations are sociopaths & have been for a long time.
I love how "Difficult Decision" translates to 'Profits are up, if we lay off people expenses will go down and the share holders will be happy'
It is never difficult, they don't care about employees because if they did the difficult decisions they'd be considering would be pay cuts for executives
It's why everyone needs to be able to unionize, or at least get employment contracts at whatever level they're at, so the only people the execs can lay off are themselves.
Hate that making a hugely successful movie and a beloved award winning game means nothing to a company, all while the people who make the actual game are all seen as expendable to the bottom line.
These fucking layoffs never work, there's multiple studies to support that and very little to show otherwise, but it's the cult of the Decision Maker Taking The Hard Decisions and "look at me, investors! I'm doing something!"
About the same as the $1000 proxies that were Tournament legal!
I'm surprised MaRo and team hasn't be fired/reshuffled after how badly managed Magic's past year has been. But I guess it's the ONLY money maker Hasbro has(?).
Nah, they had openings they were never going to fill in order to placate workers into thinking more employees were showing up to help with the workload and that the company wasn't downsizing.
Ghost listings are something that feels illegal, but isn't
AH! That makes a lot of sense and I didn't think of it. I tend to assume that things are what they say they are, at least at first, despite plenty of real world evidence to contradict that approach.

Damn auto correct.
Rejected so hard they shut that "Secret Drop" down after like 30 mins.

Ghost of Christmas Past: "We were never this overworked."
Ghost of Christmas Present. "The world needs us."
Ghost of Christmas future points to this motherfucker and makes a fist.
