Who is in charge of Nickelodeon at this point? Does anyone have any insight how Nick will be impacted in these layoffs?

WILL BE DONE BY AUTOMATED EMAIL Not Tuesday 28! MOST line managers don't know the details yet! Info from HR friend. Clearly a change from the previous company process.

Okay, I never post on here, I usually just lurk. I work in finance, so while I don’t know all the HR specifics, I do know a fair bit. Firstly, a lot of what’s being said on this forum is complete nonsense. Honestly, it’s been flooded with people who... — read more 

Does anyone know if there are going to be cuts at the Evening news? Do we know if anyone took the buyout?

Let me preface this by saying that I understand and support that in the US everyone is free to look for a better opportunity.   I also support that the company needs to change in order to compete and drive value to the shareholders.   Assuming an... — read more 

An email went out today saying he is “exploring other opportunities”.

Where are we supposed to find jobs if we're cut when every single media house is currently laying people off?

Is there any insight as to whether upcoming rumoured 10/28 layoffs include international / phase 2 employees or is more US heavy?

I’m hearing conflicting info about what the severance package will be for the upcoming layoff population. Will it be the same as those who decided to leave?? Feels wrong to give ppl who decided to leave the same as ppl who actually still want their... — read more

I used to care. I really did. Now, with everything, I’m hoping I get laid off so I can move on.

I’ve worked for a number of media companies but Paramount is, by far, the worst as of late. I’m counting the days until I’m out of this toxic place on 10/31 and thankful that I’m able to retire. For anyone thinking of joining this company- DON’T!

Title says it all. I just received a job offer to work at Paramount. I’m currently employed, but I am looking for something new. I told the hiring manager I needed the weekend to think about it. Should I take the job?

At this point, I’d feel both relieved and terrified if I got laid off. Relieved to escape the exhaustion and anxiety, but scared of what comes next. And if I stay, I know I’ll just feel numb, dealing with the inevitable toxic fallout from the cuts... — read more

A majority of the posts on here are about Paramount. Has anyone heard specifics about what cuts are in store for the CBS News division? Streaming? Digital? Employees in satellite offices? Managers?

Getting laid off is probably the best thing to happen to someone. You get a paid vacation for whatever your severance covers. You don’t have to work. All of your work is just dumped on some poor soul who was chosen to stay. You can do whatever you... — read more 

Do you think any employees will be asked to stay through the end of the year or do you think all those impacted are out on 10/31?

Who is trying to see if their manager will let it slip who is on the list? Me!

does that mean we can officially do less than the bare minimum? I mean, hard to stay “deeply engaged” when there’s a decent chance I’ll be shown the door very soon.

Is it going to be WARN + Severance? given its a mass layoff.

Read an HR post that they were due yesterday, is that confirmed?

This is how I understand things will play out as well. If anyone can confirm, please do. All of this is purely speculation, but given that remote workers are included in Phase 2, the coming layoffs will probably be related to other factors and... — read more 

If you're smart, you're already on your way out.

Are those off the table? The only thing keeping me here is the bonus, then as soon as I get that I'm out, unless I'm laid off first. Anyone have any intel if the bonus will happen in 2026, or did those get axed as well.

How long will this go on for?

Does anyone know if they’re doing it based on seniority, highest pay, department, etc? Anyone know if some departments/entities are gonna be hit more than others?
