It appears that the WarnerMedia layoff bloodbath, specifically at DC Comics, is set to keep the blood flowing well into the new year.
Apparently the layoffs, which have already claimed the jobs of such long-time DC executives as now-former co-publisher Dan DiDio and now-former Editor-in-Chief Bob Harras, failed to trim enough fat, as Bleeding Cool reported over Christmas that a third wave of layoffs is coming in the New Year.
No suspected names were mentioned, though at this point, one has to wonder how much more talent the company can afford to lose.
In a Christmastide YouTube update, EVS revealed that an insider relayed to him, in confidence, that AT&T has gutted the company of anyone who knows about comics, with those left comparable to the assistants of Assistant Editors.
Not only that, but these remaining employees are allegedly terrified, as they feel that they have no clue what they are doing.
The bottom line, EVS deduced, is that AT&T doesn’t want to deal with DC’s debt, regardless of politics, as they are already set to lose hundreds of millions from their new golden child, HBO Max.
