We were just told it's over for this round
...at an O&O. We lost 8 total across 3 departments.
What is going on?? BET there are so many people gone.
They gutted us last time! I didn't think anyone would be let go this time because so many people were let go during the summer round of layoffs. Is BET done?
Confused about WARN Act for Remote Workers

Comedy Central, MTV

Attorney?
I am 99% certain I will be cut. Can getting an attorney help with anything or I just have to sign? If yes, please recommend someone, I live close to the lot.

Currently on FMLA leave, am I safe? I have major issues with panic attacs, cannot drive or socialize - this does not help at all. I wish you all good luck. Love yourself no matter what.

Please post any updates
Especially about which orgs are affected, if you can. Thanks, and good luck to us all.
Email is out
So it begins

I heard the layoffs tomorrow will mostly be at 1515 broadway tomorrow with a goal of closure by March 2026. Can anyone here verify?
PTVS
Anyone know anything about Paramount Television Studios group under Matt Thunell? This round or next?
Can we show a little sympathy to DE?
I mean the guy just saved Paramount and took on this immense task of building the studio back to its former glory. He has this massive weight on his shoulders being the new CEO, and now on top of it he’s forced to do lay offs? I just can’t imagine... — read more
Pluto TV?
Anyone with knowledge know anything about how hard Pluto TV will be hit?

Hard to follow with 20 threads. Someone with knowledge, how hard will streaming be hit?
Work at home
I was scheduled to work in the office tomorrow. My entire team and I were told to work from home. Was everyone told this? Or should I take this as a bad sign.
Tomorrows Process (Wednesday)
Email from DE at 6:30 AM ET Follow-up email at 11:30 AM ET Layoffs commence after 11:30 AM ET email. Expect a call if impacted Out by Friday

Any idea how it’s going to go down tomorrow? Obviously we aren’t getting a zoom mtg request from our dept head and HR…especially since our dept head has left the company.
Did they pay out bonuses in any of the last rounds of layoffs?
Would be nice to have on top of severance, its so close to the end of the year.
Production Worker Concerns
I work in production on a show that is in the midst of production and won’t be getting cancelled. Does that mean I should be safe for now, or has anybody seen layoffs affect people in my situation previously?
Cable layoffs
There has been so little investment in the cable side there are bound to be massive layoffs here. Still overstaffed for so few hours of original programming, with many people doing very little work (through no fault of their own).
Did anyone have to reauthenticate to log into Outlook this morning?
Typically logging into the Windows work profile does the trick, but today there was an extra step to log into Outlook. A few others mentioned this as well, but it didn’t happen to every person on our team.
Just a reminder for tomorrow
Whatever happens, it’s on them, not you. Don’t ever let any corporate a--hole make you doubt yourself or shake your confidence.
