[QUOTE="Clint_L, post: 9242622, member: 7035894"] Potential lay-offs when the business is struggling is an unfortunate part of being a contract worker. Although I'm a teacher, I work at an independent school and have been on one year contracts for almost my entire career. When Covid hit, a number of my co-workers did not have their contracts renewed. It sucked, for them most of all, but for the team, too. These were my friends. At the same time, all of us understood the situation. My employer is a non-profit, so we don't have to worry about the bottom line in the way that a publicly traded company does. But we do have to keep the lights on. And sometimes lay-offs have to happen. Hasbro is a different situation, but I don't get the feeling they were laying people off without necessity, and there has not been a lot of bitterness expressed by those who have been let go. Sadness, yes, which is understandable, but when you are a contract worker you know what's up, and there are pros and cons to taking each job. The reality is that WotC is a subsidiary to a corporation that is struggling, and will probably continue to do so because of cultural shifts that I doubt they can do much about. [/QUOTE]
