@ak Again, please stop giving advice based on the September opt-in. Per HR, that was considered a voluntary resignation. I am not saying that bonuses would be paid out in this case, but it is not apples to apples.
You won't get your bonus unless your end date is 12/31/25. Confirmed by HR during the severance offer period in September.
You needed to be staff non-exempt and at least a manager for bonus eligibility. IC's do get them but again at level beyond senior. There was a difference between the Viacom and CBS plans that they attempted to balance and expanded the CBS side somewhat.

I didn’t get the bonus even after working for the company for over 14 years. My friend, who’s been there for more than 20 years, didn’t get it either — yet some people she knows did. I guess it just depends.
@a5 that email only applied to RTO opt in, which is essentially considered the same as quitting. Different rules apply to layoffs.
It was in the email. Only VP or above will get prorated bonus
I got laid off and got bonus because my last day was end of fiscal year
Everyone I laid off got a prorated bonus they just go sc--wed on the multiplier.
Same. Let go, no bonus. And it was big, so I missed it.
I got laid off and they did not
