Thread regarding ViacomCBS layoffs

What happens with teams that lost more than half of their people?

This doesn't apply to me, but I'm curious what will happen to them, since I know of at least one such case.

@1szj+1u1QnmsV You know where the consultants are from. Why ask the question? Are you trying to figure out who posted the comment?

They will hire consultants to do the work. My EVP is hiring consultants like crazy…spending more money on this than if we had the staff.

I'm in that boat and we have to 'wing it'

If it sounds like a nightmare, it is. It's honestly unfathomable.

They’ll be laid off in the future for “not meeting expectations” or “under performance””

As one of the (un)fortunate few to have survived on a team which lost half of its staff - no one really knows aside from the fact we'll have to pick up the work our former colleagues were doing. There are whole new reporting structures which have to be rolled out and we don't have a meeting scheduled to discuss all this until the middle of next week.
