      They 100% think of it as a lever that makes expenses disappear. They’re often just a little bit surprised when it results in labour disappearing along side the expenses, though.

      Importantly, though, this kind of dehumanizing language is purposeful, and it’s extremely harmful. It makes it easier for management to treat people’s livelihoods and lives as disposable.

      Keep in mind that “human resources” (sometimes called “human capital” at some especially icky places) is also one of these dehumanizing terms. Treating people as resources that are available to use or process is really gross, and that’s literally the name of the department.

      Those were probably the people who protested the most against pushing out faster releases, so I wouldn’t hold my breath…

    When do we as players buy out Hasbro, split DnD out, and then sell off Hasbro again?

    Even slightly inconveniencing internet sensation Amy Dallen in any way should be illegal

        Yup, she announced on xitter and bluesky. She’s one of the best voices in the TTRPG space so hopefully opportunities abound

          That is heartbreaking to hear. Agree with your assessment though. Best wishes and good luck to her.
