WBD shares at $13.15

Come on Zas, when are you gonna do something about the share price? We are sick of it, I should have sold off all my shares when at&t unloaded this mess on you. This company is a dumpster fire.

This is getting unbearable

If I don't get a better offer soon, I don't know how longer I can endure this much pressure doing a triple workload. They are literally testing our limits. Perhaps their goal is to have as many people as possible leave voluntarily?

The leadership has no idea what it's doing

The stock keeps plummeting with every move they make and some of you think they're doing a good job? Don't make me laugh. Their attempt to cut costs on account of deleting stuff and turning their back on women and minorities is costing much more than... — read more

Zaslav Might Actually Know What He's Doing

Penny stock

WBD is well on its way to becoming a penny stock. I think Zas is in way over his head. He started out by paying way too much to at&t for the WM acquisition.

Layoffs are coming

After Q2 earnings later this week we'll know how bad it'll get. I don't think any segment can consider itself safe right now.

Laid Off

This place has class. I was laid off during Paternity leave. My job went to someone at Xandr who then subsequently was pushed out with the Microsoft sale. Makes tons of sense. Xandr to Turner and then Direct tv. It’s too bad I didn’t have a golden... — read more

Time Warner inc

Not fair that our org has to make up for AT&T's Total financial dysfuncion, are we supposed to makeup for the continued shrinking segments revenues? How about hiring competent professionals in network, wireless, and content?

Got the call in the morning and was told I will be let go. It is kinda sad but not surprised its been a long year waiting to hear the news. But deep down I knew I was on the chomping block. But from what I heard I am part of a huge layoffs going on.

Why do people who have been with Time Warner the longest believe they are safe from layoffs? Does anybody really believe that company loyalty is a thing anymore? People will be laid off based primarily on how much they earn. End of story. Years in... — read more
