I reported on Monday that up to 30 jobs were to go at the Telegraph titles.
And it appears that Telegraph Media Group has not been hanging about - several people have already left the publisher's Victoria headquarters.
They include the Daily Telegraph's online editor, Marcus Warren, who has been with the paper for years, having previously been its Moscow correspondent and foreign editor.
Given that one of the reasons advanced for the cuts was to enable additional digital investment, Warren's departure has surprised many staff. A staff source said: "It's a real shock to see Marcus going."
Similarly, Saleem Khawaja, the group's digital technologist, has also left. And four others who have gone are the head of visuals, Guy Ruddle, picture editor Kim Scott-Clark, graphics chief Derek Bishton and review editor Tom Horan.
The source said: "None of them, apparently, saw it coming." It is thought that 17 production people - subs, design, graphics staff - will also be asked to leave this week.
A management source said it was an unhappy time, but there was a virtue in the swiftness with which the exercise was being carried out.
"We don't like it," he said. "But it was necessary." He added that several of those being made redundant will walk away with handsome pay-offs.
