There are good and decent people left behind who are thinking of you all. Good luck to everyone.

Updates from Chris McCarthy's live: "That process and time is coming to a close" The week of 4/27 seems to be a big layoff week.

So, no mention of the mass non-staff layoff yesterday?

To a former employee of CBS and how they treated me like dirt, It's difficult for me not to be happy how low this company is going now:) https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/business/story/2020-03-27/viacom-cbs-coronavirus

Disney is quietly laying people off during this crisis. Their managers have until April 17th to finger those who need to go. Anyone know if this is happening in our company?

Feel free to comment...

If they laid me off remotely, can I still get into the office to grab my stuff? (office is about to be locked down)

As if things weren't already bad with this company and now this? Get ready for the stock to even fall more and more and then both companies to be bought for like 10 cents.

How will that work? Postpone layoffs? Over email? Is bad press a concern?

COO of International Melody Tan and CFO of International Joel Krutz were let go. Both have been with company for over 15 years. Their assistants were also let go without warning.

The entire city is WFH for two weeks yet ViacomCBS is only enforcing WFH for two DAYS after someone in the building is infected? Why not err on the side of caution? Layoffs?

Thoughts??

Not a lay-off, but a big blow to CBS. Judge Judy’s last season was announced. This is a huge show - upwards of 9 million viewers a day.

Bob, Sheri, and management do yourself a favor and get rid of the top heavy Human Resources group you have in Studio City along with a handful of VP's that are more than the assistants that support them. Human Resource department hardly does anything... — read more

Hilary Groner Vice President MultiPlatform Operations at CBS Studio Center Studio City was laid off yesterday.

I did here of some residual layoffs today left over from Wednesday’s first of many rounds. To those in the crosshairs good luck and Godspeed.

Did anything happen today? Anyone effected?

I doubt there will be anything prior to Bob Live. Perhaps after. If yesterday’s number is remotely accurate it’s not even close to being done.

Anyone else covering this? Again, there are rumors it's really big but there is no coverage. Hmmm

It’s happening at Showtime today across multiple departments. Good luck all!

According to rumors today is the day. At least one of the days. Any info yet? Remember you’re better than what they think. They screwed the company up not you. Good luck!
