User blog comment:Perkinsmt/Fandom Staffing Update/@comment-168424-20200430214044

The main issue I have with this announcement is mixing the furloughed and laid off groups together. Thta's just trying to hide the damage.

However, this isn't much different that what happened around the Gamepedia merger time and people didn't seem to get that upset then. Furloughing is less bad than a lay off, but if people have bills to pay, it can still be quite devastating.

I don't know if they were furloughed or laid off, but I'd like to give a shout out to Rappy 4187 and FishTank who I hope will find their way back to FANDOM. FishTank wrote the last FANDOM Staff Blog only 5 days ago...
