David Zaslav, CEO of Warner Bros Discovery, reassured employees in a company town hall that the upcoming merger with Netflix is expected to bring only minimal layoffs. He said Netflix wants to retain most WBD staff since the streamer needs added personnel to support its operations. Zaslav acknowledged that mergers naturally create anxiety, but he emphasized that this pairing feels like a good match for both sides. The information comes from internal remarks reported by TheWrap, based on what staff were told in the meeting.
