What's sad is that when Vonner found out he was getting canned, he took the prototypes for all the upcoming MU figures and chewed them up right there, cackling as he deleted all the production files. They had to pump his stomach at the jailhouse to get Hasbro's plastic back- as evidence.

True story.

The usual corporate nonsense,they lay-off 170 employees as a result of downsizing,yet are still going ahead with a massive expansion that has netted them $1.6 MILLION in tax breaks,and they plan to employ a further 284 people!!!

Yes, but those new employees will work for less- nothing like the coperate mentality of firing the very people that made your success possible, then replacing them with younger workers for less salary.
