Good question. Looks like Jersey.

Fortunately for me, the guy was kind enough to take care of it. I feel bad about it, though.

And I think this is like a tiny thing, too.

Catching up on the RFC stream from last week, turns out Hasbro did a 3% layoff early last week. Most of the other bits from that they talked about aren't really relevant to TF though since they're focused on RPGs as a topic.

I can't read the original article, and the article I did find doesn't mention where the 3% cuts were targeted towards.

Their local workforce, or their global workforce?

According to this article, globally:

Toy seller Hasbro HAS.O has cut 3% of its global workforce in its latest cost-cutting effort amid higher U.S. tariffs on toys from China.

The job cuts amount to about 150 employees. According to its fiscal 2024 annual filing, the company had roughly 4,985 employees globally.
