As another source put it in an email: "Most people let go were older, have been with the company a long time and collecting a decent salary for what they do. They will be replaced by younger, less experienced and most importantly a much less compensated employee."

As the Hartford Courant notes, ESPN is a Connecticut "First Five" employer. In return for being an active job creator in Connecticut, the network receives grants, low-interest loans, and all sorts of tax benefits from the state. Per the Courant, this massive round of layoffs won't bump ESPN out of the program.
