They’re so tone deaf and out of touch with us. We don’t care about this goat. Address layoffs, the merger, the increased workload and lack of promotions.

The best guy on my team is gone, along with a couple of the steady, reliable bees who kept everything running smoothly. Now we’re left with two su-k-ups, and the rest of us are stuck picking up the slack. The funny part? They still expect us to be... — read more 

but from now on, I’m doing nothing here except looking for another job. I’ve had enough of this cr-p.

Which MTVE Senior leaders (SVP & above) made it thru this round? No one is sharing anything.

So they laid of the guy after 18 years who carried half of his team on his back but kept the one who's always on his phone? Makes no damn sense. I thought they cared about experience but clearly I was wrong. Now we're all walking on eggshells waiting... — read more 

Does anybody know what types of positions were cut at MTV/MTVE, CC and Nick? Wish everybody the best.

After the initial shock of being laid off, I've decided to slow down. Maybe I'll travel a bit, maybe just relax. I have some savings and while I know I can't just burn through them, I need a break. The last few years have been too stressful. I truly... — read more 

I’m truly sorry that we’ve all had to endure this for so long, and that we’ll likely continue to go down, one by one, with this sinking ship. We’re paying the price for bloated leadership, poor management, and the endless pursuit of profit. Our... — read more 

Hello, I’ve heard that people in Germany, Hungary and Poland have been let go either Tuesday or Wednesday. Do we know if any other hubs have been impacted? So sorry for everyone affected so far, this is being a slow death…

Now that this major round is over, do you think we'll get a decent reprieve or should we expect more in a few months?

I heard almost the entire CBS News graphics department was eliminated. Does anyone know if this is true/accurate?

boss news from this am division head given money target and EVP SVP chose names which explains how some people are never impacted or worried had autonomy and not much in way legal after so many layoffs some restructuring that will show itself... — read more 

The rest of us have just bought some time. More cuts are coming, and we’d all do well to be prepared. I truly hope those affected in this round find new jobs soon, ideally at workplaces where they’ll feel valued and satisfied.

How does SK always make it thru himself and barely lose anyone on his team. Same for CF and her group. They are way over staffed and don’t provide enough value.

I know this will be a week-long thing, but it seems to me that the bulk of it was done today. Am I wrong?

Sounding like a lot of Nickelodeon staffers were affected by I have not heard from other linears and/or studios.

JO: "You cannot be here without skill; skill is always expected." Hahaha—what a joke. Does he not realize that EK and LD actively hire and promote STEs who lack basic competency? I'm talking about STEs who don't understand testing, can't instantiate... — read more 

And those who know nothing else but how to kiss the right behinds will still be here tomorrow. It's happened before and it'll happen again. The fact is, there is fat to be cut here. The only problem is, that fat is well protected by nepotism and... — read more 

It's weirdly quiet so far.

We should keep all informed! We should get as much for dealing with this corrupt place.

I both want them to let us know and I'm petrified about what that could mean for my future. I need a job somewhere with better job security.

CBS is now officially worse than ESPN, where they hire based on project size and then let go once the project is finished. At CBS, they lay off just because they have no idea what they're doing.

I’ve said it many times that the folks who are left here need to unionize. I can put you in touch with the jacked up biz manager if you are ready. I have never had to worry about layoffs since my father brought me into the union 30 years ago. I... — read more 

I just joined five months ago. Left a good job for this thinking I was making a great career move and now I'm likely to be laid off. I'm guessing that last in, first out works here as well. Why did they hire anybody knowing they were planning major... — read more

Naveen the CFO is out. Looks like the new guy is interim until the SD merger. Good luck tomorrow, everyone.

This news is depressing. https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/paramount-announces-cfo-transition-302476819.html7/ NEW YORK, June 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Paramount Global (NASDAQ: PARA, PARAA), today announced that Naveen Chopra, Executive Vice... — read more 

I don't have the capacity left to endure endless sleepless nights, waiting for the axe to fall.

I've been reading these forums to understand what kind of severance we should expect. Sounds like we should get 90 days due to NY WARN law (I work at 1515) and then a severance estimated to be 2 weeks per year of work. There are arguments out... — read more 

The job market is horrid. Yet this place has become so unbearable that I would probably feel relieved if I were laid off this round. My job has become exceptionally stressful over the past two years for all kinds of reasons, including ending up with... — read more 

I’ve been hearing this for a couple of days now. Can anyone confirm? My manager is definitely not the type to leak any info, even to their favorites.

This place really has lost the plot. So first we don’t need a CISO, and PW takes over, and now they have put in an interim CISO who has zero credibility. The perception in tech circles is that PW no longer cares and has already checked out pending a... — read more 

Wondering since last layoffs were brutal in the office, 1K people laid off of 3.8K employees in total according to the WARN, just in 1515.
