Word is Zas is ready to buy, but its unclear what the budgets are going to look like compared to previous years (particularly on the Discovery side). Anyone know?

News flash: Company town hall, Zaslav tells the employees, "You opted to be here" as to the fact that they need to/should be embracing his vision. Like a mugger telling their victim who is laying on the ground, "you opted to be here, at least I... —  read more

3Q results in today, horrible in every aspect. Give it up Zas, you are in way over your head. You paid 4X what Warner was worth. Now WBD is in debt $57B. How does this happen, no way Zas will ever pay off that debt. WBD will be in bankruptcy within 2... —  read more 

Someone should have asked Zas if he was absolutely certain that he wanted to die on that hill prior to the acquisition of Warner Media. Since the acquisition WBD has been on a downward spiral. I think there is a very good chance WBD will declare... —  read more

Thinking that there would be a lot of savings from outsourcing the CEO position to Poland or Mexico.

Zas is in way over his head. Talk about managing decline. There is nothing to look forward to with this company. They can merge all they want, it's still an uphill battle that will ultimately be won by the likes of YouTube. Who would have thought... —  read more

just a few days ago leadership was targeting 30% of ad sales/$3B in cost savings, but that was before the stock was threatening $11 per share. Given market dynamics beyond Zaslav's control, there is a real possibility we could be looking at lights... —  read more 

Can you believe it? What next? I know we merge with Universal. This is crazy, we have lost all our good talent and are scraping the bottom of the barrel, Zas included.

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?
