Time Warner-owned Warner Bros. Records is expected to implement a restructuring plan Friday that will result in the loss of about four dozen jobs, sources said.
The cost- and efficiency-driven cuts come as the Burbank-based label is rebounding after a lengthy, dry sales period. Warner Bros., long criticized for its large staff, currently tops the nation’s pop chart with hits by Alanis Morissette and Barenaked Ladies.
