Warner Music slashing 750 jobs — or 13% of workforce — in major restructuring
Warner Music Group said Thursday it would lay off about 750 employees, or 13% of its workforce, as part of a revised strategic restructuring plan to free up funds.
In February, Warner Music, home to artists such as Dua Lipa and Teddy Swims, said that it would cut 600 employees – about 10% of its workforce.
The job cuts will impact teams such as its in-house ad sales business and other support functions.

The company now expects pre-tax cost savings of about $260 million, the majority of which will be achieved by the end of fiscal 2025, up from its earlier estimate of $200 million in savings, it said in a filing.
Warner cut 600 employees – about 10% of its workforce – in February.
Warner Music said it expects to incur about $180 million of total pre-tax charges associated with the plan by the end of fiscal 2024.
The company has been trying to cut costs by combining or disposing of its non-core media properties. In August, it said that executives leading its Recorded Music and Atlantic Music Group units would step down.
