I'll happily take the severance money and leave without looking back.

Or we get the call invite on Monday and then we will be booted on Tuesday? How many more sleepless nights?

If you are being laid off, can you elect to be paid severance with regular paychecks INSTEAD of a lump sum? When you get paid all at once they take out a larger % of taxes. And I want to prevent that. Has anyone had success asking for this? — read more 

How many folks work under Paranount Streaming total?

Not even as an official part of the Phase (Insert any number). After weeks and weeks of anticipation, growing anxiety and fear, all of which have done quite a number on my health, it’s finally over. And all I feel is relief! I think this is the first... — read more 

Any news?

There's a thread regarding PW's scheduled Town Hall below, and the consensus seems to be that everyone under PW got an invite to the Town Hall on 10/2, so that in itself is not an indicator. But a few weeks ago right after the August cuts, PW sent... — read more 

I’ve seen a lot of people snicker at the apparent hatred the 3 chuckleheads at the top have for streaming. My question is why would they and what is the evidence? Is the long term game to pull out of streaming? Am I crazy or does that not seem like... — read more 

How tone deaf are these id--ts? Let's talk about how great the company is doing before we fire 1,000 people on Tuesday. I can't wait until they are gone.

We all read the email about Erin leaving, the information around the teams is that Tom Ryan is out too. Has anyone else heard this?

Is my team impacted? I tracked my SVP calendar and they just got a new HR meeting set for Monday. Upvote if my team is F’ed

Don't know about you all, but this is having a serious negative effect on my health. I'm doing what I can control- resume is updated, I'm applying. I try to manage my stress in a healthy way. What I can't control is the way our managers and 3... — read more 

It's a little crazy that job postings for Paramount Ad posted this week/today and even one for Nick Marketing ... The rest are CBS related news sports stations The Nick one will report to the SVP Design Animation

We just received a calendar invitation for a tech Town Hall on 10/2 at 11:30am est, basically a week after the tech layoffs. What do you guys think of that?

Do we need a “get ready for inclusion week” email right before major layoffs? “Inclusion for all, except for half of you!”

I am finding it increasingly difficult to remain motivated at work at this point. What are you guys doing to remain productive as we wait for the axe to fall (or not)?

It's easy to tell managers that haven't gone through layoffs before, because they refuse to address the big elephant in the room. I'm sure they they mean well, but if I were in their shoes I'd be giving space to my teams to upskill, sharpen resume... — read more 

Started a new thread regards to streaming ... a post said managers and up who have reports will have meetings this week to go over the procedures to layoff Has anyone heard anything ?? Has anyone heard anything from TR DD or VH with any sort of... — read more 

It has become a shithole, and the sooner you leave the better off you’ll be. In the meantime, look hard for other opportunities that are good for you, your career, happiness and finances. Sc--w these a--holes.

Hey as we all await the dreaded day (Sept 24) I was wondering if anyone from previous layoffs or know from others if there is a possibility of keeping the laptop given for work? I'm trying to find any silver lining here

Are people actually getting 60 days of severance because of WARN?

An advice to everyone on here. Update your resumes and get the heck out of this place. Even if you survive the layoffs, there’s no light at the end of the tunnel. The leadership lacks vision, the company is struggling to compete with the likes of... — read more 

What type of signal does this give the rest of those who are in the dark? Surely people at that level should be in the know of what will happen as we're just a couple of days away from the 9/24 date but they claim they have no idea.

How does the company manage layoffs for employees on US work visas, such as L1, H1B, or F1?

Has anyone's manager/business leader/boss/department head etc. acknowledged the toxic work atmosphere with constant looming layoffs, and how it might be affecting morale? It’s been radio silence from our department head. Haven’t had an all-hands in... — read more 

Does anyone know percentage-wise how much P+ will be impacted either as an org or by division next Tuesday? Different numbers floating around from 50% to a whopping 70%.

We all are in this together and are wary of what is to come, but try to be optimistic of it all and God willing, we all will come out of it stronger.

Divisions under paramount and locations if possible... Thank you and good luck Have any other emails been sent and by whom ?

Today is the day, according to Halley's email

Keep in mind that a company email is not required to post here. In the past few weeks, a few trolls have waddled over here to post inflammatory content. We're not only talking random offensive replies made to incite a response, but claims of being... — read more 

Not that it matters. Layoffs are happening almost every day anyway, just in less noticeable numbers. I’ve started considering it a daily affair since this sh-tshow started. I don’t need chapters to this badly directed drama we have all been... — read more 

Godspeed everyone

1515 broadway is being consolidated down to just a couple floors Lots of tech meetings with Oracles people too. I bet they’re preparing to take over our tech and lay everyone off even after the merger.

Sunday scaries.

Is anyone hearing that this may actually be the date vs. 9/24? Or if not the actual date that something may be happening? Starting hear some chatter but also think the rumor mill is VERY active these days.
