Hollywood goes to Poland

Warner Bros. a studio founded by a couple of Polish brothers originally from Youngstown, Ohio like other movie/television studios is laying off hundreds of people at its Burbank headquarters.

Many cuts will impact significant numbers of "back office" workers in management information systems, finance and accounting.

Many of those jobs will be outsourced to Poland and India, according to people familiar with the situation. Once Warner finalizes its plans, it will conduct training sessions with the outsource workers at its Burbank lot as well as at its various offices around the world.
