Line 33:
On {{D|Oct|11|2021}}, Hasbro's long-time CEO, [[Brian Goldner]] would pass away due to prostate cancer. Richard Stoddart would serve as a brief interitem CEO until Chris Cocks was chosen to be his true successor. Goldner would be survived by his wife, Barbara and daughter, [[Brooke Goldner]].
In January of [[2023]], Hasbro fired 800 employees. Later in December of the same year, they followed another 1,100 employees due to "headwinds" in the toy and game industry. These layoffs were labeled as a "last resort", in spite of the CEO of the company Chris Cocks still retaining a 1.5 million dollar salary with a potential additional ~10 million dollars in compensation.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.dicebreaker.com/topics/layoffs/news/wizards-of-the-coast-owner-hasbro-lays-off-1100-staff-before-christmas |title=Dungeons & Dragons owner lays off 1,100 staff two weeks before Christmas “to keep Hasbro healthy”|author=Chase Carter |date={{D|Dec|12|2023}} |website= |publisher=Dice Breaker |accessdate=December 13 2023 |quote=}}</ref>
