Is anyone else hearing rumblings about a Q3/Q4 WBD layoff wave?

Been seeing a lot of quiet around here lately, and frankly, it's making me nervous. We haven't had any official news about layoffs since the Discovery/WB merger, but the financial news has been pretty clear about the need to cut costs and streamline. The CNN+ marketing pause was a pretty big signal for me. It feels like they're doing a lot of internal shuffling and 'efficiency drives' which usually precede actual cuts. I'm starting to hear whispers through the grapevine about potential large-scale reductions happening later this year, maybe post-earnings or even into Q4. Has anyone else picked up on anything concrete, or is it just my anxiety running wild? Trying to figure out if I should be updating my resume proactively or if this is just the usual post-merger jitters. Let's share what we know (or suspect).

I'm not surprised to hear these rumors. The merger created a lot of redundancy, and with the current economic climate, cost-cutting is inevitable. It's tough for everyone involved, but hopefully, they can navigate this transition smoothly. Keep an eye on official communications, though those can be scarce sometimes.
