Thread regarding ViacomCBS layoffs

Marketing... Consumer products?

Why do these team even exist?

Such a tiny percent of money is made from marketing & licensed product- how did we ever justify all those executive salaries?

Time for a reality Check.

Hopefully the underlings that survive can claw their way to the top and become the thing they always feared.

Basically me after the 2008 layoffs, allowed me to absorb so much responsibility.

Now look at me, I browse this website, sold off all my via-stock and I'm perfectly enjoying this.

I am very sorry to hear about your situation.
Everyone here should take a moment and think about their comments. People are hurting. No need to pile on. Also wake up sheeple...unless you save yourself and get out, EVERYONE gets laid off. You could be next.
To anyone affected today...please know many people are thinking of you amd wishing you the best.

Pretty dumb comments. I work in CP and got laid off today. It’s not all about revenue, the division really drives awareness of properties which in turn drives ad money, subscriptions, etc.

Tough day for some. Myself included.

No need to be mean. Spongebob has been lucrative. But It is still very upsetting that really good creative smart people are being laid off while less than stellar stale execs stick around and collect their EVP pay checks.

Yes.... this is true... the CP group, unfortunately, never made much headway over the years.... each year in 20 years of meetings that I attended the business team would show the little sliver of the CP market that Nick owned.... and it wasn’t much.... it never really grew...

I have never purchased one spongebob product or know anyone who has. The company inflates those figures to make themselves look more profitable.

You are uninformed - on the Nick side alone SpongeBob CP is a $3/4Billion with a B annual global biz
