#timing

Checking in to see if there were any 4 pm / EOD comms or meeting invites stateside. It was reported that TII received invites at 4 pm IST

I know tomorrow morning is when the meeting will be, but anyone know timing of when invites will go out? 4pm today or 7:30 tomorrow morning?

I understand that layoffs are coming Tuesday. Is it possible that we will all “know” by the end of the day or do we believe cuts will be made throughout the week?

Now that would be very spooky!

We know some people were already been cut. Is there a way to know how many are still left?

Any additional updates?

Organizations impacted: Legg, Engineering Ops, Arnoldi. Who else?

Hello all, any new information on potential Layoff 10/30? thank you

I am in a business area where I believe my role and most but not all within the L8 team I’m on are “safe” for now due to Q4 support. However, that is likely not the case come Jan/Feb. I hope/believe that our team will realize this and adjust their level of effort and support/availability outside of business hours this Q4. No need to overextend yourself to just be let go in Jan/Feb. I am also pacing my work according to the announcement timing I’m expecting…I’ll just leave peak support tasks undone until after any cuts are made next week. If I’m let go, then someone else can figure it out. I’ve deleted my entire One Drive (can sync again if you want). No need to pass off files to your leader if your role isn’t needed.

My question is with all these layoffs - they always know it’s going to happen and have the lists so early. Why does management and execs always wait till a certain day to make the cuts? Why not just do it as soon as possible to avoid all this stress and anxiety for everyone with a date looming over? It really pi---s me off I’ve been through this so many times and it’s really like we’re all numbers on a sheet or a dollar amount not people with lives and families to take care of

I work in HR, and I can say with 99.9% confidence that the New York and Los Angeles layoffs are scheduled for Wednesday, October 29, 2025.

Before you read the following, know that yes, it's that bad! - Most line managers still have no idea what’s coming. Only a few will find out what’s happening on Friday afternoon or early next week. Yes, even some SVPs and EVPs have been kept completely in the dark about what’s happening to their own teams. This might be because they are also being laid off and haven’t been told yet, or due to concerns about leaks. It also shows that they hasn’t had much control over the process this time. The new Skydance leadership seems to dislike how, in previous rounds at paramount, some staff had early knowledge of what was coming, so this time they’re keeping everything very close to their chests. - Yes, there is still very much a use and them.

I know for certain that I’m being laid off. I found out by accident when I was mistakenly sent a spreadsheet listing my name. (I felt humiliated) Later, my manager confirmed it was accurate and told me I wasn’t supposed to have seen it. I was officially meant to be notified next Wednesday.

However, I’m not surprised to be included since most of the teams I support are also being cut.

Important: From what I know based on previous layoffs, there’s no real negotiation. Yes, you can try to push back or ask for more, but you probably won’t get anything extra, which honestly su-ks. All communication will eventually funnel through a general HR mailbox, and the replies will be completely generic.

If you think about holding out or trying to push for a better deal, don't bother. They won’t bend, and if you try, they simply won’t pay you. The company plans to go in hard on HR compliance and will not move on severance, timing, or terms. Why drag it out when the result is already decided?

This round of layoffs combines the old Paramount process with the new Paramount Skydance approach. The compensation structure hasn’t changed, but leadership is working extremely hard to keep everything under wraps until the official announcement. They want to show in the next earnings report that they saved far more money than expected.

I love this company, but I’m starting to lose faith in the new management. Don’t blame your team or department lead for what’s happening. Seriously! They’ve been kept in the dark just like everyone else.

The previous thread is getting buried by new ones.
When will the layoffs be communicated? There's some conflicting info: next week, November, February. Collective layoff (ERE) or individual dismissals? Will there be differences based on the fiscal entitity?

Anyone have knowledge on how long it’s taking for our severance to be paid out once we have signed the legal documents? I’m trying to figure out how to pay out my bills. I heard 3 months???

I'm thinking if it was happening today, we'd have heard something about it by now, right?

Does anyone know if we are done with the current round of layoffs or should we expect more notifications coming in the following days? When we will know if we are safe or not until the next round?

Trying to ease the anxiety over here - good to know what's down the road for us. No way Deerfield can handle the OPO overflow. Parking lot is full most days. Earlier someone posted expected layoffs of 400 in January. Does anyone have any updates on this. Still January, or sooner/later? And first week of January, or later in the month? What's the pattern with previous layoff timing?

So is it actually happening tomorrow? I know there was a meeting with leaders today but what was the outcome?

It’s been awfully quiet

Any one know the date for nov layoffs?

Is it going to happen on a Tuesday? I heard it was this Tuesday but now people are saying next Tuesday? Why Tuesday and not Friday?

Just announced...November 5.

If more layoffs are supposed to happen this week, then I'm assuming it's going to start today? Tuesday through Thursday are usually layoff days, for whatever reason.

Do we expect notices coming before holidays or post or both? Before holidays is just cruel. I get the quietness cause last one was leaked and it was a horrible experience. Given the severe budget cuts for some groups + eerie quietness feels even scarier.

Are they going to be cruel enough to stretch this out into the holidays? I haven't been here long enough to know, but has Target ever had layoffs close to Thanksgiving or Christmas?

Company must be falling apart, they want to make sure people don't get paid for Thanksgiving the next week (monsters) Got to ensure BH gets all $40M

I hear hints maybe some people that are in transition are not identifying themselves. I can understand there are business reasons both for and against this. But I also think maybe there is some fear, so it could be misunderstanding. Are there people who were in scope and already landed roles in the new organization, but will still transition out in 2026?

What’s the delay in divestment of the NaKika and Mad Dog assets?
Any update on the layoffs anticipated for November?

surprised no one has posted here about it, but there’s for sure layoffs happening Thursday.

It’s such a huge program for Carelon BH with a long history. How many jobs will be affected from MOS and elsewhere in Carelon BH? I suspect that other areas will be affected too as MOS infrastructure supports a wide swath of the company.

This is about information on the upcoming layoffs and the future of Paramount. Not a place to complain about politics. Now let’s get back to that. Are we still going on the assumption of Halloween week or is there a new date? Are there any new rumors we can discuss?

Any info on timing?

Thank you.

Is anyone else having trouble getting their pension lump sum ? Delayed now 3 months and counting... is the fund insolvent ?

Or are we still in the speculation phase? I’ve been hearing about small batches of people being let go here and there, though it’s hard to know what’s true. But nothing concrete yet about the major round that’s supposedly coming. Not that it would be a shocker, but a heads-up would be nice.

Who is on who is out, AI in and common sense is out. Facelift done, clean up ongoing. Sales getting sla-ghtered with more excitement in the air with sales leaders from 1980s. I mean it took some efforts find those legends and pull them out retirement village and golf. Surely Tim got them on some massive discounts as that’s a su----e mission.
Let’s get a counter live for February….

I'm sure some other state will be affected. Overall this is not good!

I heard a rumor of layoffs in Nov. Any credibility to the rumors this time or just speculation based on past events?

If you opted in to the severance package -
Have you been given an official last day?

there’s been radio silence.

CEO sends very vague message Friday about action items across teams moving quickly, not specific been crickets since. Hear Ai to replace customer success and other varied depts.

Q4 starts. If they lay off, its this week or next week me thinks.

Over the years I've read many posts on here stating that layoff notices go out the same day as the layoff conversation.

Sometimes people continue lurking on this board after they've been laid off. Has anyone been laid off and gotten the notice the day before?

Anyone know what days this might be coming up?
