Has there been any new information about the layoffs that are supposed to happen next month? I'm checking to see if anything has been confirmed yet.

I saw an article pop up in business insider but it’s behind a paywall. Did you answer honestly?!

I’ve looked at the financial goals for 2025 STIP from the last proxy report and have been tracking them all year. It seems likely that the year should exceed 100% of all 4 financial goals. But of course with the new regime who knows what will happen... — read more 

Generally curious if people have peaced out since RTO. I know of one person who gave notice after a week back in office. I’m guessing a number of people thought they would be let to in the last round but survived. I can definitely see more people... — read more

So, for people that have now stepped into new roles because of the layoffs and people that left, are we getting salary adjustments? does anyone have any insight on this? or are we just "lucky to have a job" and are supposed to shut up and take it?

Word on the street is, higher ups are actively training new AI agents to replace creative jobs in post production Hold onto your butts

So, I drag my a-s into the office every day since Jan 5. Yet since last Wednesday, the building has been pretty much dead. Yeah, there were people on every floor, but it's not full. I was on 27 today, and I spotted 4 people. 4!! So, where are u and... — read more 

The New York State Department of Labor has confirmed that no wages were reported for my Paramount employment for any quarter in 2025 to any state unemployment system. Employers are generally required to report wages quarterly for unemployment... — read more

Long life VH.

just heard from my coworker in another department (p+/VH's org) Wtf? Yes, they're all located in Los Angeles. Not hybrid, fully remote for anyone that starts their shift after 3pm.

I’m on the Paramount lot and it feels so empty. Did a lot of people decide to not RTO?

Working in the city can be very expensive. I’d rather drive. Anyone else going to the Long Island facility? How many work out of there? Is there room for one more?

Anyone else feeling super anxious to see how this RTO will play out? I almost feel nauseous with it all

I'm getting so tired of this. People are on edge because nobody knows what’s coming next, and that uncertainty is starting to show everywhere. Teams feel disconnected, communication keeps breaking down, and everyone’s spending more time speculating... — read more 

Keep seeing everyone is getting 3% increase. I haven’t heard a peep from my manager about it. Does this mean we won’t get it, or should we still hold out hope?

If you could continue WFH for a pay cut, would you do it? I'd be more than happy to accept such a trade, as long as the pay cut is reasonable.

I hope not many of you see this post because you’re spending time with family and enjoying a relaxing few days. This past year has been tough, and I’m keeping those who lost their jobs in my thoughts. For the rest of us, I hope the coming year is... — read more 

What is the latest with Phase 2 RTO and remote workers?

I received an end-of-year promotion but the % increase is barely larger than the typical merit raise. Anyone else in the same boat?

Has anyone had theirs yet?

It's nice to finally hear that DG is trying to accommodate remote workers in thoughtful manner next year!

But we know that Nepo Davey didn't hire her to get viewers or prestige or advertisers; it was just to make "Uncle Donald" happy. It's pretty pathetic, though, when you can't even match the YTD rating in literally the lowest-rated slot on the entire... — read more 

Was part of the layoff and got the minimum 4 weeks severance. My final paycheck was today but it was a few hundred short than usual. With my understanding I thought 4 weeks severance meant 2 full pay periods. Am I misunderstanding? This is how I... — read more 

Warner Bros Discovery has urged shareholders to reject a $108.4bn hostile takeover offer from Paramount Skydance, branding it “inadequate” amid an extraordinary corporate battle to control the legacy media conglomerate. In a blunt letter to... — read more 

Heard from my manager that promotions aren’t happening this round. Is that true?

Ah yes, I remember all those times Bob Bakish had his father come to business dinners to talk about mergers, or had him hop on Zoom calls with advisors. It's totally a normal thing for CEOs to have their daddies help them with their jobs. From THR... — read more

Year end is approaching, 5 day RTO mandates are looming, and some of the most experienced, high-impact members of our team are choosing to leave for roles elsewhere. Not lazy, quiet contributors bootlickers were most concerning about committing... — read more
