Given the massive profits from WotC basically buoying the whole company it feels like they should be safe, but somehow that's never guaranteed

Why let a golden goose keep laying eggs when you can just eat it? /s

Can't believe I'm reading this. Hasbro is truly poisoned if this is what they're still doing even after the WoTC division continues to hit insane growth numbers.

The layoff affects roughly 150 of the company's 4,985 global employees (with math accurate to the company's 2024 annual report).

It doesn't say where the 150 are coming from but it seems like a stupid decision.
