In the past, they allowed people to raise their hand for severance. Do we think that will happen again?

The only time I have seen this companywide was with regard to RTO. Sounds like WBD is already back in the office, at least partially. So, they might make the same offer to them that they did to Paramount employees in order to self select. News and some other business units have referred to buyout situations, but I suspect in general, the actual layoffs themselves will proceed as they have in the past where high level executives make the cuts and hope they chose the right people since they don’t usually bother consulting the lower level managers.
@ag Why not? They will still have to pay severance if they lay people off, so what’s the difference if they allow people to self select? Also, the whole point of RTO what to get people to quit and they all got packages. So, I think it’s a fair question.
i hope so. would def take
@OP Considering the company is cash strapped to the tune of $80 billion and looking to trim $6 billion from their books, I'd say no.
