Warner Bros. Plans Layoffs, Outsourcing To India
LOS ANGELES (AP) ―
A published report says Warner Bros. plans to lay off scores of studio staffers and outsource jobs to India and Poland to cut costs amid falling entertainment revenues.
The Los Angeles Times on Friday cited anonymous sources familiar with the situation who said layoffs would affect scores of "back-office" workers in information systems, finance and accounting.
The number of jobs to be cut has not been finalized, but all divisions of the studio are likely to be affected.
Warner has about 8,000 employees around the world. In 2005, the studio cut about 400 jobs, including about 300 at its lot in Burbank.
Warner spokeswoman Sue Fleishman says no decisions have been made and would not provide more details.
