The Warner Bros. Discovery ad sales team is continuing to downsize.

On Tuesday, the company laid off 100 employees, a source familiar with the matter confirmed to Adweek. The layoffs are in line with the company’s reported plan to cut up to 30% of its ad sales staff.

A source previously told Adweek that 30% isn’t a hard number, but it is directionally correct.

In June, ad sales chief Jon Steinlauf also sent an internal memo to staff that offered a “Voluntary Separation Program” to qualifying employees.
