Janco: IT managers earn more than other top execs
IT executives and managers are among the most highly paid workers in US corporations, according to a new report based on the latest data from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).
The BLS this week updated its Occupational Employment and Wages Summary for 2022; it showed computer and information research scientists earn on average about $155,880 a year. Database architects are the second-highest earners with just over $136,540 in annual compensation. Software developers followed at $132,000 a year.
Putting upward pressure on wages has been a combination of scarce tech talent and low unemployement rates.

Hasbro Execs Talk Dungeons And Dragons And Open Game License Controversy
Hasbro executives discussed the recent controversy about Dungeons and Dragons changing its open games license (OGL) in a recent earnings call.
According to a report from Gizmodo, the current CEO of Hasbro, and former Wizards of the Coast president, Chris Cocks addressed the negative fan response early in the meeting, saying that “We misfired on updating our open game license.” The earnings call provides no new information about Wizards of the Coast’s plans, but Cocks did say that, “Our best practice is to work collaboratively with our community, gather feedback, and build experiences that inspire players and creators alike.”
In January, a leak revealed that DnD publisher Wizards of the Coast was planning to update its OGL. The new license would more directly restrict what user-created content could exist and be sold without paying royalties. Community backlash was instant and only increased after Wizards released a statement confirming the leak’s validity. Eventually, Wizards of the Coast halted updating Dnd’s OGL, sticking with the old model for the foreseeable future.
