(Reuters) – Media company Warner Music Group Corp said on Wednesday it will layoff 4% of its workforce, or 270 employees, globally and cut down discretionary spending in the near future.
In an email sent to employees and seen by Reuters, Chief Executive Officer Robert Kyncl said the company was reallocating resources towards new tech initiatives among others.
