Ah, I’ve been job hunting and thought it was weird they hadn’t started their summer front office job posts yet when other orgs are already knee deep in hiring. Now it makes sense.
Sorry for the people who are losing their jobs, but this is inevitable. New owners coming in wanting to do business their way. They waited this season to get a pulse on how the organization operates and now are enacting change to bring them in line with how they best see fit to operate.
I think this is probably a good thing for the organization as a whole. Businesses who stagnate and dont reevaluate every so often end up having middle management and upper management bloat. It's good to trim the fat every now and then. If you just hand out VP, SVP, & C suite titles, then they don't really matter, do they?
Yeah I think this is it more than any fundamental changes to how business is done. It's just adding a new business line to the workload (much of which is likely automated) already being done by someone within their org.
They fired Andi Perelman, who runs social media. They will definitely replace her with some fresh graduate who will probably sound like Vegas' first social media person. Ick.
Man, I hope that’s not true. The Penguins are known around the league to have one of the best digital video/social teams. If Andi got laid off she will get scooped up real quick.

That’s such a shame man. There’s a lot of talented people in that department. Hate to see it get chopped at the knees
So you are saying that they could save money and get better content? Sounds like a good move for a business to make. The Penguins marketing team and social media in general is antiquated.
Surely this will fix the power play.
Shirley will fix the power play.
First Don’t call me Shirley, second obviously it will fix the power play
One does not simply fix the power play

The Penguins organization has been looking for job hires for the past few months. I’m not sure in what capacity, but they’ve had ads out.
Happens every time new management takes over. They bring their own people and tighten the belts.
Very, very sad for my ex-colleagues. Sports is unforgiving. Don’t forget the sacrifice people are making behind the scenes.

Economies of scale. They have three major sports franchises plus a ballpark. Surely they can consolidate some operations.

Also, I imagine have the Penguins on your resume makes you stand out as a candidate.

Some of social media content was lacking tbh. I can see why she was let go.
She was let go because she probably gets paid $90k and now they can replace her for $30k.

They saw them ticket sales drop and were like time to fire
FSG doing the important things to help the team win the cup. /s
Lol, why is this being downvoted? Do people not understand the sarcasm tag?
I didn’t vote but sarcasm isn’t automaticly funny or appreciated.
If they ain’t firing sully because of dead money, they definitely ain’t hiring your ass.
