Hasbro laid off 1100, of which 20 are at WoTC. But how many folks are at WoTC? Are those 20 involved in the actual money printer they have with WoTC?

Very astute observation.

It is sometimes worth it to take people who are unhappy in their job and/or not performing well and give them a package when they are available. I would guess there are 20 of these people at any company of that size, not just WOTC.

Apparently (don't quote me on that, that's something I was told and I am not sure of) someone that designed the Universes Beyond sets was fired.
