Rumor mill running rampant that more layoffs are coming. Not to mention the will they/wont they questions of moving to Boston, forcing a RTO mandate, and ki-ling half day Fridays. Folks running for the door at all levels of the biz, from the... — read more
Godspeed to all affected
I’m worried for the rest of us as well. We all know that ‘restructuring’ can be a convenient excuse for more layoffs in the near future. They can just spring some needed ‘adjustment’ or some such out of the blue. I’m sorry for all the good peeps... — read more

Worried about tomorrow
Stu Y running for the door. Leadership scrambling in the TG side. Conf rooms booked for large stretches in HK. Middle managers being told they "should come into the office tomorrow" Not optimistic.
Hasbro is led by id--ts
BG3 is the best game of the year. It sold so much better than anybody predicted. It gave us nearly $100 million in clean profit, so far. But what did Hasbro's leadership do? They laid off most of the people from Wizards of the Coast who worked on the... — read more

900 to 1000 employees being layed off? What departments and when?
I’m sorry to see this happening. Please keep us updated.
Even greater expectations
The expectations of the employees who are still here have been raised once again. I really can't take it anymore, I have to find a new job as soon as possible because health is priceless. What frustrates me the most is that the manager does not... — read more
This has nothing to do with overhiring
Most of the teams are understaffed so how did they ever over hire? I can attest to this. I've been doing two jobs at once for over a year because we haven't been backfilling positions that desperately need to be backfilled. How is that overhiring?... — read more
This is the result of over-hiring
Things were amazing at the start of the pandemic and Hasbro did some major hiring. Now things are coming back down to earth and they realized we have too many employees. My only hope is that they're going to lay off people who were hired more... — read more

Was Thursday it? or will there be more.
Anyone have any insight? I know there was that stupid video where they were like "such a sad day, we had to can 125 people" but is that all there is? If you survived this week you're okay for the near-term? Or is there another wave expected?

Be prepared folks, Hasbro is not done yet.
Again?
Are company wide layoffs happening again?
Offered a position, is Hasbro secure?
What is the culture here like? I’ve read about lay offs over and over again and I’m wondering if chasing the money is worth it?
More coming
From a director here at hasbro.... we were told to help organize for more "reorganization" here in the next couple of months and make our recommendations on cutting my staff. Rounds will be decided in April with cuts coming most likely after gsmm
Severance
What kind of severance will we get wit Hasbro???
Several Hasbro field territories closed down!
They already did another round. Two weeks ago. It all started on Oct 17. So many laid off. Several field territories closed down.
Hasbro Troubles
Pretty sure that Hasbro’s problems run much deeper than state taxation. They lost over 10% of their business once Toys R Us went under and haven’t been able to make it up. You lose that much in sales and there’s no amount of state penalties or... — read more
We have a number finally
And it's worse that we thought. Ten percent of Hasbro employees comes to between 500 and 600 people, if I'm not mistaken (from what I know, our total employees are somewhere in that range, times ten of course.) With still no additional details on the... — read more
Buckle up everybody, more layoffs incoming

Not as good as it seems
With more and more people in the field turning to us amid layoffs and closings in their own companies, I think it'd be fair to give an honest picture of Hasbro. First of all, this is not a perfect place to work. Yes, there are great advantages like... — read more
