Warner Bros. Discovery is sacking staff, say reports
Media reports revealed that as part of Warner Brothers Discovery, CEO David Zaslav hopes to find more than $3 billion in post-merger savings. However, this layoff will affect several departments after the company’s merger occurs.
The groups that will be most affected are:
Warner Bros. Television Group’s Channing Dungey. It will include studios that produce scripted, unscripted, and alternative content.
A bit of DC comics.
Cartoon Network.
Adult Swims.
The report that more layoffs are coming is surprising to no one. It was due to the rearrangement and restructuring of the studios. However, this layoff on Tuesday caught many people off guard. In August, more than 70 employees of Warner Bros were let go from HBO Max, Casey Bloys, and other HBO teams.
David Zaslav is looking forward to saving a considerable sum of money by removing staff and other things.
FAQs:
- Who else is the primary target of the upcoming layoffs?
