Well Billboard went ahead and outed some of the names of people laid off at UMG’s Island Def Jam.
We weren’t really going to name names, figured it was better but hey someone did it first.
Christian Jorg and Mark Lehman headed up Island’s New Media department and were responsible for some stuff. They also came from Flycell .
Also, as a part of what we think were cost cutting measures a senior PR person, Karen Weissen, who was VP of PR, was let go.
Other than that, lots of poor little people were let go. Why bother harassing them? Not like you are facebook requesting them.
So if so much cost cutting is taking place, why weren’t the heads cut off? Ok you can argue that Jorg and Lehmann probably made a lot of money, but why wasn’t the man at the very top *cough* LA *cough* affected? I bet he is is still ordering lunches from the four seasons.
UMG Layoffs Claim Digital Execs Christian Jorg, Mark Lehmann.
