Do you feel like he just repeats the same message? It’s always “don’t worry about things you can’t control” or “don’t look at the news”. He says we’re a small but mighty team, isn’t that bad? We shouldn’t be proud of the burnout. — read more 

Don't forget to check in with former teammates that were part of the layoffs. Don't treat them like they have the plague thinking it will win you favor and protect you on the next rounds

Does anyone have any information/rumor/gossip about the BET layoffs which were to occur but didn't?

They’re so tone deaf and out of touch with us. We don’t care about this goat. Address layoffs, the merger, the increased workload and lack of promotions.

The best guy on my team is gone, along with a couple of the steady, reliable bees who kept everything running smoothly. Now we’re left with two su-k-ups, and the rest of us are stuck picking up the slack. The funny part? They still expect us to be... — read more

Which MTVE Senior leaders (SVP & above) made it thru this round? No one is sharing anything.

So they laid of the guy after 18 years who carried half of his team on his back but kept the one who's always on his phone? Makes no damn sense. I thought they cared about experience but clearly I was wrong. Now we're all walking on eggshells waiting... — read more 

Does anybody know what types of positions were cut at MTV/MTVE, CC and Nick? Wish everybody the best.

After the initial shock of being laid off, I've decided to slow down. Maybe I'll travel a bit, maybe just relax. I have some savings and while I know I can't just burn through them, I need a break. The last few years have been too stressful. I truly... — read more 

I’m truly sorry that we’ve all had to endure this for so long, and that we’ll likely continue to go down, one by one, with this sinking ship. We’re paying the price for bloated leadership, poor management, and the endless pursuit of profit. Our... — read more 

Hello, I’ve heard that people in Germany, Hungary and Poland have been let go either Tuesday or Wednesday. Do we know if any other hubs have been impacted? So sorry for everyone affected so far, this is being a slow death…

Sounding like a lot of Nickelodeon staffers were affected by I have not heard from other linears and/or studios.
