520 , to Work Reform in Warner Bros. Discovery Says Ongoing Strikes Will Mean $300M-$500M Hit to 2023 Earnings

As someone with investments in them... Good. I hope it stings.

Profits should not be coming at the cost of your people's livelihoods.

Are these the disgusting greedbags that actually suggested “starving out” people and families currently not receiving any income during the strikes?

I’m totally fine with this man making less money.

eee ,

But how will he afford his third summer home in Santorini??

Meanwhile… Bonuses for everyone in management!

If they're so important to your bottom line, maybe you should pay them more.

eee , to Work Reform in Warner Bros. Discovery Says Ongoing Strikes Will Mean $300M-$500M Hit to 2023 Earnings

Good, hit them where it hurts.

wouldn’t it be cheaper to just pay your employees appropriately?

Viking_Hippie ,

Probably, but that would make them appear weak at the monthly Supervillain Club meeting, can’t have that!

WarmSoda ,

I thought you were joking. But you’re not.

Zaslav will speak at a Goldman Sachs investor conference in San Francisco on Wednesday, along with other Hollywood leaders.

Fuck, why can’t this be fictional? And their only retort will be similar to “from my point of view, the jedi are evil”.

Cruxifux ,

Why is it that every time I see something evil it’s followed by “Evil McBastard will be speaking at a Goldman Sachs conference.”

Empricorn ,

It’s not always about money, sometimes it’s about control. Look at companies dragging overperforming WFH employees back to the office…

Loved this show and my kids did too. Ripping it off the platform is a bad precedent, and one I hope Paramount comes to regret.

I just began watching Prodigy, and thank you for making such a charming addition to the TrekVerse Aaron Waltke

Don’t get it. I thought Paramount owned Star Trek why isn’t it on P+?

I get Nickelodeon was involved.

Paramount+, the streamer, doesn’t want it on their platform, for whatever reason.

CBS Studios, the production house, wants to sell it to a different platform.

They’re both subsidiaries of Paramount Global, but they have different priorities.

GreenMario ,

That is strange but thanks for the explanation.

buckykat ,

for whatever reason.

Paramount wants it off everything and out of production so they can practice the dark art of tax writeoffs with its sacrifice. If they aren’t selling it or streaming it anywhere, they can claim it as a business loss.

CBS Studios has remained committed to finding a new distributor for the show and is finishing postproduction work on the new episodes.

This is good to hear. Their optimism is encouraging.

I wish the first season was still streaming somewhere.

I’m still boggled that they pulled it to write it off.

Great to see the event getting amplification in major industry media.

User flair is unfortunately not a thing on Lemmy, but this is as good a time as any to confirm that we have independently verified that OP is Aaron J. Waltke, writer/producer of Star Trek: Prodigy.

HWK_290 ,

Going to chime in then and say: THANK YOU!!

Prodigy is an amazing show. I hope it finds a home soon. I just recommended it to my 80 year old father. My wife and I just about died with happiness rewatching season 1 recently. All around, the best Trek in years

I cannot wait for season 2, let’s make it so!

GoodAaron OP ,

On behalf of the team — Thank you!

HWK_290 ,

LLAP you have our full support

I've seen a couple of episodes and I like it so far. it's kinda douchey of them to take it off of streaming like that.
