No one is safe from the multinational corporations’ scissors. Technological transitions and high costs have led to the disappearance of thousands of jobs at companies like Spotify<\/a>, Microsoft, or Amazon<\/a>. Now, the iconic toy company Hasbro joins this sad trend with the recent layoff of thousands of its employees<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n

In January 2023, Hasbro unveiled a workforce reduction plan, announcing the elimination of 1,000 positions. However, it seems these measures haven’t been sufficient. Now, Chris Cocks (CEO of Hasbro) has explained in a statement that they will lay off an additional 1,100 employees<\/strong>. The layoffs will begin in the coming weeks and will be carried out gradually over the next six months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hasbro, primarily known for its toys and for hosting major brands like Magic: The Gathering and Dungeons & Dragons<\/strong>, had 6,300 employees before the layoffs. With this adjustment, the company will see its workforce reduced by approximately 29%<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This adjustment comes after Hasbro had limited <\/strong>its revenue forecasts for the entire year back in October, just before Christmas<\/strong>. Despite this usually being one of the most fruitful periods for toy manufacturers, Gina Goetter<\/strong> (Hasbro’s CFO) had already warned during the earnings conference that the company was experiencing a “widespread decline in the Toys category<\/strong>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the statement issued by Hasbro, Cocks explains that they anticipated “the first three quarters to be challenging<\/strong>,” especially “in Toys<\/strong>, where the market is coming off the historic highs reached during the pandemic [\u2026] Although we’ve made significant progress throughout our organization, the headwinds we faced during the first nine months of the year have persisted and are likely to continue into 2024.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of the 1,000 layoffs announced in January, 800 <\/strong>positions were ultimately eliminated. If we add these to the current cut of 1,100, Hasbro would have let go of approximately 1,900<\/strong> employees during 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n
