I think they'll let us live in suspense for a while, hoping many will quit on their own to escape the stress. It's been done many times by many companies and I'm pretty sure this "leadership" will use the same playbook.

Strong suspicion they will start next week, but we shall see
@fd Google migration isn’t on hold, they’re just doing it in waves
5 year chart for skydance is Down over 80%, you have many things to worry about here
Adding a new domain to Warner Brothers email address isn’t as difficult as people may think. but that’s definitely not the reason of any delay. Also, halting this disastrous Google migration is not going to prevent any layoffs either. Not getting a Google account or any delay in migration or adding a Skydance email account to Warner Brothers employees is no way related to any delay in a layoff.
@by I heard Warner people already received communication about new e-mail addresses, so probably that's why it is postponed, to change to Skydance domain in Google and then migrate the rest.
DE has to find $6 billion in savings and you think he’s just going to sit around and wait for people to voluntarily quit. Less than 500 people took the RTO buyout during the last round, WB is already back in the office at least part-time, the job market has not been this bad in a long, long time, and the buyout package was the same as normal severance, but you sc--wed yourself out of unemployment if you took it. But yeah, you’re right, they will probably just sit around and wait for a while.
@bw don’t see much truth in that, otherwise goodbye majority of INTL. Right after the merger all teams with planned switch date got an email the migration is postponed for unspecified period of time.
@bw what does this mean? please elaborate
Re: PSKY employees - just had a thought... if your email was not migrated to google, you're probably on the chopping block.
Apply elsewhere to feel proactive and not let them have all the say on your career. Have to compete with Netflix crew now too.
@ar yep, probably a SVP, VP or Director trying to dilute the forum to save themselves and create confusion and uncertainty
