EAs were already beginning to be impacted last year on both the divisional/regional and HQ/Cable sides. To @a5, you may be correct when speaking about a cr-ppy Admin but a good one can work wonders, be a right hand, be a voice of lower level employees to executives to push for change, speak up when they see good employees being overlooked by middle
management to higher levels and actual effectuate change, and create psychological safety, especially given the amount of deficient leadership Comcast had/has. As someone posted just today some mo--n leader put a last minute 1:1 on someone’s calendar today with no context and had them panicking for a few hours. A good EA/admin would never let that happen and AI can’t handle that level of nuance. This panic that’s happening? A good EA would be able to help manage and create reassurances or clarity. Unfortunately any of those types have been shown the door in the last year and the ones left are being led by people who have no clue and see the job the same as you @a5 whether intentional or not.

Yes, EAs are a part of the layoffs.
Yes, EA's are apart of the layoff's.
I know a few who were impacted today. If they support VPs who were laid off then yes.
absolutely. AI can do most of their work. it’s a luxury employee not a necessity
I'd say it's unlikely for the AA's to be affected, the roles and hierarchy were restructured not too long ago.
