WBD TO ANNOUNCE EARNINGS AUG 4 AND WILL LAYOFF 70% OF HBOMAX DEVELOPERS
Discovery go handed a pile of garbage from Mr. "I know more about creating media than anybody". A lot of those from Warner will get canned. Now it sounds like the Stink is looking to reduce headcount at AT&T
Almost no one would stay here if they could find something better
Or at least that's what it seems to me. The biggest reason why many stay here is that they can't find something else that doesn't involve a paycut, but also more work. I wish I wasn't right... The reason why many have allowed themselves to stagnate... — read more

Useless
How long have you been trying to leave this corporate drama?
