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.

Warner Bros. Discovery insiders are bracing for layoffs starting as soon as next week. The cuts are expected to hit ad sales teams, the latst in a series of rolling layoffs throughout the year. CEO David Zaslav is under pressure to wring $3... — read more
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
I think Discovery is just a very ‘all’ audience, [they] don’t wanna make things that are political, topical, alienate Middle America—more Chip and Joanna If you want to still have a job in the media industry 5 years from now, this is the way. DEI... — read more
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.
As Employees Jump Ship the Work Loads Continue to Grow!
With lay-offs just around the corner many of our younger staff are leaving and I can't blame them. I'm a long time employee of WBD, originally from Turner, and this is my 4th merger and by far the most painful. Its just a bunch of busy work since we... — read more

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
We've lost a lot of employees
I know stuff like this happens with any merger but I'm starting to worry if I'll be able to do my job properly if they decide to cut even more. I already have to do two jobs (as do my coworkers) for the price of one since there's nobody else to do it... — read more
I'm leaving
This place has turned into a joke ever since it was first announced that AT&T was planning to buy us. Nobody takes us seriously anymore. I want to be gone before this latest merger/spinoff/whatever-it-is happens and having worked here becomes a... — read more
AT&T Outsources more and more...
So the not so brilliant decision to acquire DTV was costly. But arrogant Randall went after T-Mobil and failed. The Board must be asleep or they are getting rich and don’t care? So they approve Time Warner media acquisition. Costly? Well let’s get... — read more
TruTV as expected does layoffs

Genious, AT&T to prioritized Streaming Service
AT&T apparently has never heard the phrase, "a bird in hand is worth two in a bush". They abandon their customers in pursuit of new customers. Their acquisition cost for new customers in far greater than offering current customers more value. the... — read more

John Stankey does not motivate, nor does he have any ideas that will make us successful in the new media environment
John Stankey does not motivate, nor does he have any ideas that will make us successful in the new media environment. He is riding this wave from his telco days thinking that TWM will be managed like he wished the telco could. Guess what mi amigo... — read more
Good read

Get Ready
Sorry, Warner, but as former DIRECTV, I feel for you all. AT&T insists on forcing their dysfunctional culture and processes on you despite proven success with your own. Not to worry, after a few years they will come back around to it and then act... — read more
Who could be affected the most?
Judging by they way AT&t performed their own layoffs there is little chance that they will announce what are they planning to achieve with this restructure or how many people are to be cut. Any rumors? What departments are they planning to trim the... — read more

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?
laid off Christmas 2001 time warner vancouver washington
Was laid off with about 250 others Christmas 2001. Big heavy dudes in suits and ties showed up and distributed colored badges to everyone. The color of the badge indicated employment status. Haven't had a steady job since then. Worked at electric... — read more
Got that dreadful call.
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.
Nobody is safe
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
TW How soon? Its clear i fall in the Let Go catagory..
The office seems quiet but the message was clear. Support positions and administrative departments will get hit. Im wondering if a layoff can be announced to an individual on anyday.

We're all screwed. The customers of phones, internet connectivity, and cable TV are just plain screwed as well as the employees of both companies. The judge's ruling and final details are awfully suspicious, including the strongly worded threat to... — read more
How long before it starts?
How long does it usually take after a merger for layoffs to start? Do we at least have a few months while the dust on the whole deal settles or will it start sooner than that? I've heard many horror stories since yesterday and I'm not sure anymore... — read more
This will not end well for us
This merger will be awful for Time Warner and its employees. Most of the expected layoffs will come from our side - and trust me when I tell you there'll be a lot of them. Not to mention that company culture will change for the worse sooner then you... — read more
What should TW employees expect and how soon are layoff expected?
Never been theough a merge. Im hearing different things. If a layoff awaits, how soon can it start?
It is with great sadness to report that
Today marks the end of Time warner Inc, in 3 years tome grom today, your company would look like DirecV, in shambles and Rio ed, history tends to repeat itself, :(
Has anybody checked AT&T page on this board?
The more I scroll through it, the more I am dreading the possibility of the merger being approved.
Forget about layoffs -- AT&T is a TOXIC CULTURE
Dear TWC folks -- get ready for some big changes once the deathstar takes over. As one of the few post-merger surviving Directv employees I can tell you that AT&T is a horribly run, heavy-handed, micro-managing, bureaucratic nightmare. Innovation... — read more
Layoffs are nothing new
It's funny how people get scared at the mention of word layoffs in relation to AT&T merger, when Time Warner's been laying off people every few months under the guise of reorganization for years now. This is nothing new, it's just not as well... — read more
They can't keep piling more work on us
Anybody else really worried about what the merger will bring for us if it goes through? We are overworked as it is. For years now, Time Warner has been refusing to back-fill any vacant positions, instead just piling the work on those of us who are... — read more
It gets worse ...
SORRY GUYS, IT LOOKS LIKE AT&T’s top executives are considering divesting some Time Warner assets — including news organization CNN and celebrity gossip site TMZ — after they merge.
So sorry....but welcome to the AT&T family of layoffs
Just like Bellsouth, DirecTV and the TW newcomers , they will face the harsh reality of working for this company, This is rarely good news for about 90% of the staff. Sure, management is fine. After all, they negotiated the deal. But whether you were... — read more
