As a long-time fan and follower of Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD), I can’t help but feel a pang of sadness and concern with each new wave of layoffs hitting the company. I remember the excitement and anticipation I felt when David Zaslav took the helm as CEO, bringing renewed energy and a clear vision for the future. But now, it seems that the cost-cutting measures are taking a heavy toll on dedicated employees across various departments.

This transformation involves the development of several new digital projects, the initiation of paid services centered on lifestyle journalism, and an aggressive move towards artificial intelligence.
