I hope they don't fire the NXT makeup girl. Don't worry, they've already found a replacement!

Some more notes on the this and how WWE addressed it today from Wrestlenomics:
The total number of employees cut yesterday we're now told totals 60 or more. WWE's leadership felt there were a number of redundant positions across the three departments being merged.
Senior vice president and head of WWE Studios, Susan Levison was let go from WWE as a part of yesterday's lay-offs. She'd been with the company since March 2019.
Earlier today the company held a meeting over video for all employees to address the lay-offs.
The meeting was largely led by president and chief revenue officer Nick Khan as well as chief financial officer Kristina Salen.
Kevin Dunn, WWE's executive producer and chief of global television distribution, spoke briefly at the meeting. He explained the television department, advanced media group, and WWE Studios are all being consolidated under a new department called "WWE media", led by Dunn, who previously oversaw the television department.
Neither CEO Vince McMahon, chief brand officer Stephanie McMahon, nor executive vice president Paul Levesque spoke at the meeting.
Khan tried to give encouraging words to employees. At one point he became emotional reading a story about a young woman who commuted four hours from work to college every day. The story was seemingly an example of a person with a strong work ethic who WWE employees might emulate.
Employees return to headquarters in Stamford, Connecticut on July 6. Workers are not required to be vaccinated before they come back to the office. Under an "honor system", non-vaccinated employees will be required to wear masks.
As noted yesterday, other executives who were terminated included EVP of advanced media group Jayar Donlan, EVP of international television James Rosenstock, VP of media operations Makham Nolan, and senior vice president of production Brian Pellegatto.

Yep tells me Khan is quickly getting all the power. I'll repeat what I've said before. Sucks for everybody that lost jobs but from a business standpoint it makes sense. Company I work for went through a similar thing a few years ago (though our new ceo gave each the opportunity to transfer to a different department or take severance so kind of apples and oranges) so on one hand I can see the reasoning and say "it's just business" But again, end of the day really sucks for the people that lost their jobs

The story was seemingly an example of a person with a strong work ethic who WWE employees might emulate. I say this as someone who has praised some of the changes Khan has made in the company and the deals he’s made (and I stand by those because some of it does feel like the company “growing up” rather than trying to act like they’re the coolest kid in the room)… F*** off, dude!

Just as I'm starting to say nice things about Nick Khan and finding logic in his directional and business decisions where it might make WWE less carny... he does that sort of gaslighting bullshit that has literally nothing to do with anything than trying to be emotionally manipulative to employees he just fired/gave much more burden to? Would it kill WWE to have one moral bone in their body? Christ.

don't worry Nick Khan isn't long for WWE.
He's there to get it ready to sell.

In a shocking twist, the guy that a heartless ghoul called in to tighten up and modernize his company is also a heartless ghoul.

Yeah he should have stuck with the "sorry it's just business" line. Sucks. Dickish to say. But it's the truth. Nick Khan is doing a lot overall to make WWE more of a legit business. That's not to close over the firings mind you. And as I said earlier I think all signs pointing to Triple H and Stephanie having minimal to no power when Vince steps down. It's an interesting time.

I mean, it's not for a variety of reasons, some I've mentioned before and some would be solved if they weren't giving each other such big salaries and bonuses and it's not WWE doing it so that's me stopping that point from other head on. So no, I don't buy that and likely never will without a good reason.

If you, too, make outrageous and unhealthy efforts to tear yourself into pieces trying to prove you want to work for us, then maybe you won't be cut next time we downsize. Work ethic will be measured in how much of your bones we can see as you slowly deteriorate chasing employment for us. Burnout is the only valid method of selling yourself left.

Here's hoping the 60 employees got a good redundancy package and can live off that for a few months.
I don't begrudge WWE for streamlining. I've worked in corporate long enough to see the annual cull and shenanigans and hoping you're not next.
However, Nick Khan's sob story is f***ing disingenuous horseshit

Really, Nick? I hate when upper management do that shit. "Well THIS Person did--", you know how respond to that? "Well that's THEIR problem, not mine!" Corporations, when you think the best workers are the wrestlers!
