Hey everyone, just wanted to see if anyone else in WBD is feeling the vibes lately. The news about freezing external marketing spend for CNN+ felt like a pretty big signal, especially with Q2 earnings right around the corner. Seems like they're either really trying to tighten the belt or are preparing for some rough news to drop. I haven't heard anything concrete about layoffs, but the silence is kinda deafening. Anyone in Finance, HR, or closer to the execs hearing whispers or seeing anything unusual internally? Trying to stay positive and focus on my work, but it's hard not to worry when you see these kinds of moves. Just want to know if I should be updating my resume 'just in case' or if this is standard belt-tightening. Appreciate any insights or shared anxieties.

Yeah, the marketing freeze definitely sent shivers down my spine. Feels like a classic precursor to some tough decisions. I've been trying to stay optimistic, but the quiet from leadership isn't exactly reassuring. Hoping it's just a strategic pivot and not something more dire. Fingers crossed for a positive Q2, but the anxiety is definitely palpable across departments.
