Thread regarding ViacomCBS layoffs

Tech Cuts (Bain & Co.)

I’ve heard from a senior Tech executive that PW and his L2 have been working for months on a massive reorganization with the help of Bain & Company.

This executive said this would be the largest reduction across any single team and be triggered on Skydance’s day 1.

Apparently, a large portion of the cuts would come from unwinding the legacy Viacom cable networks, impacting teams at the NOC, CCC and other related areas.

Have you heard anything similar?

None of this is a secret.

The Variety article says it as much: https://variety.com/2025/tv/news/paramount-layoffs-skydance-merger-deal-close-1236470192/

It won't be on day one since it's impossible from a logistics standpoint, but it puts it in motion.

It will not happen Day 1 for any org at Paramount. Bain is working with all Orgs not just tech. Of course cuts will evenually happen that is the nature of a merger where you need to save 1.5B
