Folks, it’s another day in the WWE jungle, and the corporate machete is out, swinging like a heavyweight champion on a caffeine buzz. The latest round of TKO layoffs has sent another veteran packing, proving that no head is too high to roll. This time, the corporate guillotine dropped on Beth Fisher, the Head of Corporate Social Responsibility, who had been with the company for a whopping 13 years. Yes, folks, even the champions of community goodwill aren’t safe!
Beth Fisher, a woman who started as an assistant to the big cheese in 2011 and clawed her way up to the top of the Corporate Social Responsibility ladder in 2019, is now out the door. Her résumé reads like a hero’s saga: leading social impact initiatives, managing strategic partnerships, and executing global events. And let’s not forget her noble quest on the Emerging Leaders Council of Make-A-Wish Connecticut and her crusade for diversity, equity, and inclusion at WWE. If she were a wrestler, her finishing move would be the “Goodwill Slam!”
Just a week ago, Fisher was basking in the glow of the Cablefax “FAXIES” Awards, celebrating a win for the Community Champions program. WWE colleagues were throwing praise like confetti. Christine Lubrano, the Senior Vice President of Creative Writing Operations, even said, “You and your team do amazing work and I’m so glad you’ve gotten this recognition.” Ah, the sweet irony of corporate life – one minute you’re the belle of the ball, the next, you’re Cinderella without a shoe, or a job.
As the dust settles, the WWE universe is left wondering if more heads will roll. The rumor mill is buzzing, but lips are sealed tighter than a submission hold. Remember the last round of cuts during the WWE Draft in April? Former WWE Champion Jinder Mahal was sent packing along with wrestlers stuck in the limbo between NXT and the main roster, like Xia Li and Cameron Grimes. It’s a jungle out there, folks, and the corporate safari continues.
Stay tuned for more updates as we watch this corporate soap opera unfold. Who will be the next to face the ax? Only time will tell. In the meantime, let’s pour one out for Beth Fisher, a true champion of the people, now an unwitting contender in the game of corporate Survivor.
