WarnerMedia Starts New Wave Of Layoffs, As CEO Jason Kilar Calls Process “Painful”
Deadline ^ | 11/10/2020 | Dade Hayes

Posted on 11/10/2020 9:09:30 AM PST by marcusmaximus

A significant round of layoffs forecast last month at WarnerMedia is getting under way today. CEO Jason Kilar emailed staffers this morning, acknowledging the process is “painful” but also calling it a “critical” step in the AT&T division’s evolution. (See his full memo below.)

The entertainment outfit has seen multiple staff reductions since the acquisition of Time Warner closed in 2018. Historically, its three main units — HBO, Warner Bros and Turner — operated as mostly autonomous groups. Now, synergy is the mission, with teams being blended for the first time in decades and a lot of positions eliminated in the process. AT&T is laboring to reduce its $151 billion debt load.

I guess we don’t need state media as much if the elites can just simply steal the elections.

Hey H-wood *sshats, you supported liberals and their lying inane Wu Flu virus restrictions. Now you can reap the consequences.

**** you and the horse you rode in on on.

I do feel sorry for those employees who disagreed with your policies and are now paying for your stupidity. May they rise up and make you fear for your lousy lives.

I really hate to say this, but we’ve been in the eye of a massive economic storm for several months and we’re just starting to come out of it.

You can’t drasically shrink the economy and expect everything to just be “fine”. But the effects don’t happen overnight. When people are not earning, spending, buildin, consuming, money is not flowing. And states and municipalities are not getting their tax dollars. Businesses and governments are going to be hurting VERY bad, very soon. 2021 is going to be one for the history books.

Well they better prepare for more. They think they can discount half the country. They don’t think our viewership and disposable income for sports and entertainment don’t matter, well then they can suck it up. They could all crash and burn as their idiot governors and mayors keep them on lockdown.

And I echo...

Learn to code. After all, according to the left in word and deed... there are 3 things in life that are essential to maintain a government/infrastructure such as in the U.S.,

1. Cube farms, housing middle mgmt
2. Coders
3. Immi-grunts to do the SLJ’s

It’s that freakin’ simple! Who knew?

While my heart does ache for those hidden Trumpsters within the MSM world, they had to know this was coming.

As for the cretins voting Biden/democrat or non-voter.... may they all be laid off so they can enjoy the same level of.... reality....they’ve been forcing upon the Trumpters or Loyal Constitutionalists.
