WBD's stock price has tanked ~78% since David Zaslav was announced as CEO— $32.68 on 05/19/21 to $7.32, today— to say nothing of the brand loyalty, goodwill, & creative talent he's destroyed.
It is amazing & genuinely horrifying that anyone could fail this badly, & remain in a position of authority

Seriously, though, I didn't know he was that much of a disaster for shareholders, too.
But that’s just me pulling wild ideas out of my ass, I’m not a CEO, I don’t know how these things work.
