Pros
Now that we now News Corp is abandoning Amplify, the personnel cuts are going to be coming fast and furious. It's being communicated that absolutely nobody is safe and the reduction will be very large. Everyone is tiptoeing around wondering when the hatchet will fall, and who will go down first. The only bright spot in what will doubtless be a devastating round of layoffs is the hope that the entire cadre of executive leadership will be forced out by the new management.
Cons
It's amusing to imagine how poorly this bad news is going to be handled by this incompetent company. It's unpleasant enough to lay off hundreds of people, but doing so *badly* makes the experience exponentially more painful. Doubtless there will be very, very little communication about it, and what communication there *is* will be vague, meaningless and insulting. I think many of us, if/when we are let go, will be interested in figuring out how to evaluate management competence before we sign on the dotted line for our next gigs.
