@r4 He COULD, but it would look a little disorganized since he was specifically listed as one of the executives DE was retaining
@cr YK can always add DG to the layoff list.
@cq No layoffs on Tuesday. Leaders have not even been given savings targets yet. Don't listen to people on here
Who says it’s a foregone conclusion that P+ will be folded into HBO and not vice versa?
I agree the merge will happen eventually. I don’t know if it will be the HBO that wins in the end though
@cj not in tech - info came via our svp asst .. our team works solely on Pluto matters no P+ duties but as i said who knows ..
Don’t assume just because they are keeping the head of content for HBO Max that their app wins out. DG didn’t get the boot and has invested a significant amount of time and effort in the strength strengthening P+ if the intention was just to shut it down.
Anyone have more insight into what to expect in regards to layoffs Tuesday? which divisions? Will WBD also have layoffs?
@be Pluto and P+ is not merged and we are called streaming tech. How can. you be safe?
i've heard layoffs tuesday too .. some people with be tranferred to hbo max teams as far as the app and tech - that is further off but DE YK dont what to keep paying for both tech and staff
i work for Pluto and they think we are safe .. who knows tho
That’s not happening. Clearly you are not in the know.
@OP is max going to be the mother app for sure
Is it confirmed this is happening? Heard layoffs are tues but is this only p+ layoffs or hbo max too? Anyone heard?
Yesterday
Tuesday
I'd assume some parts would share common infrastructure (video storage, content analytics, maybe ads), but I think the apps will stay separate for a while. Maybe share some content like Disney+ and Hulu. But why charge people once when you can charge them twice for the same stuff?
Is hbo keeping p+ people?
