@e3 you don't
there's like three DG at P in exec positions
....
@dm DG has nothing to do with content decisions. So you even work there?
@dy good
@dm, he will stay; he is the CPO overseeing product and tech, just as he has been working with CH for the past year or so.
@dm curious too. Wouldn't be surprised at anything.....
Curious what happens to DG now?
anyone hear anything about restructure and layoffs at P+ after the news .. not tech app related ..
@ce Speak!!! Yep
Oooo you're really "going for the jugular" and making it personal in your quest to "k!ll the messenger."
Dude's just doing his job, and reporting on facts.
How he gets those facts is none of your cun+rol-freak nosy-azz biznishiz.
Stay heated, hot shot.
LULZ!
What this announcement seems to show is that James Faris (JF) at Business Insider may be relying on sources who aren’t especially close to the decision-making.
Cindy’s announcement was sent to her direct reports roughly an hour before the news broke in Deadline and Variety, and some people apparently knew the day before that it was coming. That makes me wonder whether JF’s sources are more at Senior Director/Director level rather than among the people actually in the room. (I'm a Senior Director)
Judging by his articles, most of his sourcing also appears to be on the streaming side. He’s certainly out there trying to connect with anyone and everyone on LinkedIn.
And speaking from personal experience, James, the “the small gift cards for information” approach is not appreciated.
@c9 I think you will find its more like she didn't like the new role she was being offered and chose to take the MILLIONS (She signed on last year with a $80m 5 year deal) pay off.
For those that don't think she was laid off... have you not been paying attention to previous rounds of layoffs? Senior folks have regularly been given the heads up weeks in advance and been able to bow out gracefully.

@ad exactly
She most certainly was let go - this was not a voluntary decision on her part. First official casualty of the merger and the ink isn’t even dry on the deal yet. For those who don’t think layoffs will follow in quick succession, keep deluding yourself.
she stepped down today - letter basically said for HBOM stability / i guess they won the war - immediately - last day was today
expect more execs departures CB wants his teams in place ..
Not fired
Fake news. She resigned to pursue other opportunities.
