deadline.com/2023/06/warner-bros-discovery-tv-layoffs-begin-whos-leaving-1235420736/amp/* Over at Adult Swim, there are also major changes. We understand OLLIE GREEN, VP, Animation, who has been described as one of the senior leaders of the company and who has exec produced series including Rick and Morty and Tuca & Bertie, is leaving alongside NED HASTINGS, senior editor and producer, who has been with the company for over 20 years and is best known for his work on Aqua Teen Hunger Force, as well as around EIGHT TO NINE OTHER LONG-TERM EMPLOYEES.* Several other names along with TCM and all across other WB divisions, but I’m just... so exhausted. Adult Swim’s core input is next to gone. He’ll see to it that they never fully recover from these past two hellish mergers. Really hope all these poor souls can find work. Especially Ned, man. This is a disgrace.

I am so fucking sick of this shit. And he's still there. You'd think he'd be ousted after The Flash bombing but no.

Cartoon Network and WB Animation staff are looking to unionize. www.polygon.com/23801560/cartoon-network-animation-union-warner-bros?fbclid=IwAR1s_qjpL1LmcBYPc5jihgjUMSxVs0O-q5MqN6Nf--QrhmJqRx1WjwoAzHQ“Having lived through the existing state of the animation industry for the past seven years, I want to make sure that not only our current workers, but all those who choose to join us in the future, can feel secure in following their passion by earning livable wages and being treated with the dignity and respect they deserve.” - WBA Production Manager, Hannah Ferenc
Hope it goes well for them. If I’ve made any seemingly disparaging comments recently, understand I’m not disconnected and that I see and hear the anguish of these workers on an almost daily basis. I don’t try to preach the choir. The truth is I’m just useless in the matter, and only they know what’s good for them. |

I dread this thread being updated. With Zaslav it's always "Oh, God, what now?" Pleasantly surprised it's good news. Creators and actors have been treated shittily for long enough. It's time to demand some accountability for the people screwing them over.

When it comes to Zaslav, you might need a bottle of Tums handy. Just sayin'.
