Is the Sept 1st WARN notice just the tip of the iceberg?

I’m seeing a lot of confusion regarding the 133 roles mentioned in the latest WARN filing for the September 1st effective date. Is anyone else hearing rumblings that this is just a first wave? The atmosphere on the floors feels incredibly tense right now, and management is doing their usual 'business as usual' routine, which honestly makes me feel even more uneasy. I’ve been here long enough to know that when they start filing these notices, they aren't done. Does anyone have visibility on whether these cuts are strictly isolated to the broadcast operations or if they are hitting the digital teams too? Trying to gauge if I should be polishing the resume this weekend or if I can breathe for another quarter. Stay safe everyone, keep your LinkedIn updated, and don't trust the 'no further layoffs' emails they circulate.

I've been through a few of these cycles here, and the pattern is always the same. Management loves to frame these cuts as 'strategic restructuring' or isolated incidents to keep the stock price steady, but anyone with a bit of experience knows better. Once the paperwork starts moving, it rarely stops at the first batch. The 'business as usual' talk is just a distraction while they prep the next round of numbers. Keep your resume updated and start networking quietly because the internal climate definitely feels like a slow-moving storm rather than a singular event.

It is honestly exhausting watching leadership play this game again. You can feel the tension in every meeting; nobody believes the official line anymore. From what I’ve heard circulating, the 133 roles are just the start of a much broader consolidation plan aimed at hitting end-of-year targets. They are tightening the screws across multiple departments, not just the ones listed in the filing. Everyone is looking over their shoulder right now, and frankly, you’re right to be concerned. Don't fall for the PR spin—look out for yourself first.
