Say Goodbye to those ESPN Personalities Ya'll Love So Much: Official ESPN Layoffs Thread

Spotiify owns The Ringer.....so even if you work for the Ringer, you're technically a Spotify employee.

My paychecks say the Ringer but I own spotify stock and I'm signing on to Spotify's system when I use my company computer, phone, slack, etc.

Nice...

Are you saying espn is not paying people great?

You kinda just confirmed jacoby coming over there with yall

I think ESPN is finally being forced to pay a lot more competitively in some areas of the biz. They’ve had a stranglehold on it and dictated the market for so long, but things are changing and there’s been a ton of employee turnover because other emerging media entities are paying much better (Spotify, betting, working remotely, satellite offices in big metro areas, etc.).

A lot of times, ESPN employees begin their careers in Bristol making a shytty entry-level wage/salary in Connecticut. So once they open up that low, moving around internally costs them several thousand because they were so low to begin with.

@Peter Popoff Mickey Mouse said you can't hide from him. He still wants to see you in his office.

Bigger news is that Disney is reorganizing ESPN. Means that ESPN either gets spinned off as a new company or sold to another company.

Spin-off would be the more financially lucrative option especially with the increase in sports betting. It should have happened long ago as the conservative values of Disney has been holding ESPN back.

Disney does not fully own Hulu so probably not.

Disney does not fully own Hulu so probably not.

In 2024 Disney has an option to fully takeover Hulu and Comcast (33%) has an option to sell its stake
