@fd yeah, usually the parent company doing the acquiring is the one that folds. thanks for the expert analysis.
I hope they get rid of the excessive CFOs, Controllers, etc at the companies.
@b7 umm everyone will be affected by this. Not just WBD. You are delusional if of you think otherwise. Also I don’t believe it will be one and done like like has been said. Buckle up.
This won’t happen. Paramount will fold.
With DE's strong connection to Oracle, and Oracle being a leader in AI now, which helped senior Ellison become richest man, I think the ultimate plan is to replace us all with AI.
@b7 Paramount is getting gutted further, it’s not just WBD. This is a bad for everyone in the interim all around.
@d5 go look at little David’s personal political donations. All to democrats. His dad is the Trumper
Little Davey's got imperial hubris and his daddy thirsts for monopolistic control of news media so he can turn it to propaganda.
WBD $40 billion debt means consolidation
@bb nahhh Netflix is not it. They are a streamer that buys other people’s content and make content. They don’t have iconic IP or do live sports news reality etc. We don’t need that or want that. Sh-t Netflix did a football game and paid us to do it for them.
Rather than buy up every other streaming service to compete against Netflix, wouldn't it just be easier to buy Netflix? Just sayin'... :/
So yeah. I’m beginning to think Phase 2 is not happening now. There will be 2,500 cut in November …plus if this goes through then 80% of WBD is gutted.
C-Suite will probably be making some new hires to operate this monolith in late 2026.
This such is such a weird fever dream. It’s a new story every week!
Guess what your bonus will be helping pay for?
I’d rather be with buyers team then the sellers. It’s the smart play.
Its giving rounds and more rounds
Fu-k them. Just imagine how many people would lose their jobs because of this.
Yay monopolies!
more layoffs upon layoffs
Want to say this is exciting but feeling disillusioned and all I can think of is, more layoffs to come
Ge-z. These clowns can't run the current company. I almost miss the pep boys at this point. This place is a disaster
