Just saw the WARN notice hit for the 133 cuts effective September 1st. I’ve been trying to keep my head down, but the air in the office has been miserable lately. Management keeps talking about 'restructuring' and 'long-term efficiency' while we all know the ad revenue numbers haven't been great. It feels like every time we turn around, another team is getting gutted. Does anyone have any actual intel on which departments were hit hardest this time? I’m hearing whispers about back-office and some of the digital operations staff, but it’s all vague rumors so far. If you got a calendar invite for a 'mandatory meeting' this morning, please speak up. Solidarity to everyone going through this right now—the job market is already brutal enough without this hanging over our heads.

I’m hearing the cuts hit the production and support teams pretty hard this round. It’s been brutal watching the office culture deteriorate while leadership hides behind corporate buzzwords like 'synergy' and 'efficiency.' Honestly, nobody feels safe anymore. When they start cutting back-office staff, it’s usually a signal that they are looking to trim the fat across the board to satisfy shareholders. My advice is to update your resume immediately and start networking outside the company. The writing has been on the wall for a while now, and I wouldn't bet on this being the final wave of layoffs this year. Stay prepared and keep your options open.

It's always the same story with these guys. They talk about future-proofing, but they never actually mention how it impacts the people doing the heavy lifting. I’ve heard through the grapevine that the digital divisions and some administrative roles took the brunt of it this time around. It's incredibly toxic how they frame these things as 'strategic alignments' when it's clearly just about bottom-line optics. I’m just waiting for the next shoe to drop, but at this point, the morale is non-existent anyway. It’s probably time we all stop waiting for things to get better and start looking for a workplace that actually values its people.
