    Hasbro continuing to make shit decisions on behalf of WotC, the only sector of the company keeping it afloat.

        Ah, the Jack Welch method.

        (Seriously, fuck that guy. He was a pioneer among bloodsucking CEOS, and part of it was mass layoffs to boost short-term profits.)

            If they wanted to fire the “bad performers” then they’d be firing the CEOs and higher ranked people, not those actually making the products work.

            Nothing, if that’s genuinely what you’re doing.

            But it’s dangerous to incentivize it, because you get short-term gains by firing anyone, whether or not it’s the right long-term call.

            It’s also just difficult to identify bad performers. Fundamental attribution error is a bitch. And because we’re really bad at seeing the entire system surrounding someone’s productivity, we tend to blame operator error only to find that the next operator we hire has the exact same problem.

        There’s no one there left to defend the IP, so they can do evil things. I’m guessing it’s as intended.
