Any truth to the rumor posted here a few weeks ago that all freelance employees are being let go in one swoop? That can’t be true, can it?

24 Seven PBE please read
If you are a PBE freelancer on 24 Seven PLEASE reach out to them if you were laid off or are anticipating being let go. They told me to send them my personal email just in case I get locked out and my resume since they are a staffing agency.
You should also ask their HR about unemployment so you have it in writing you are eligible!! You technically do NOT work for Paramount or MTV you are a w2 employee for 24seven.
if you also are on their health insurance and get laid off you will lose benefits the end of that week but are able to continue with their premium plan plus a 2% agency fee.
I spoke over the phone with them directly because I found out we don't actually have deal memos stating our day rates/contracts which is very alarming and probably illegal and raised red flags about unemployment benefits. So every time your "contract" was up it was just to extend your email access and was made to seem like that was your real contract but it was not.
get everything in writing through email and take screenshots so you can protect yourselves!
