@bn DEI su-ks anyway. I had a higher-up manager once—she su-ked in every possible way. Everyone made fun of her. She wasn’t just bad at her job, she was late to every single meeting with me.
@br Correction: Little Man With Rich Daddy On Campus
@c8 Legal/worked with a wide variety of groups. It balanced out a bit later in the day but still seemed lopsided.
Finance - Several impacted from my team. Could be more depending on who you report into. Just going with what I heard after I was notified.
Did they also layoff freelancers? I know my department staff is all gone but no word on freelancers as of now.
@c8 I think they are in Nickelodeon. We lost so many today.
@c7 apparently they believe the generals will get the job done with no troops. Makes total sense 👍🏼
@c4 correct
@c9 I know that one EIC and their Coordinator are gone. Apparently the entire music department is gone as well. There's also a great PM from the NY side who got cut. I also heard that a major name towards the top will be gone after the years end.
@cb MTV Brand Creative is gone.
@ca MTV creative teams gone in what area? Current/Development/Marketing???
Whole MTV creative team gone.
Has anyone heard any news about Nickelodeon?
@c7 Can you tell us what group you are in? Thank you!!!
Does anyone know if those at the E/SVP level (anywhere) are getting hit? I know of the following:
1- VP
3 - Sr. Directors
4 - Directors
4 - Sr. Managers
3 - Managers
It leaves 2 EVP's & 8 SVP's with lower level staff..Asking because it seems unbalanced and a bit unfair but it could just be the groups I work with on a regular basis came out this way.
@OP CBS Saturday morning whole show is canceled
Several people in CBS Marketing have been notified they are being let go.
@c3 do you mean you work in theatrical marketing?
Theatrical and badge was deactivated. They waste no time!

Skydance is impacted too—TV Studio side. My manager was let go yesterday and I just got my news an hour ago.
@bw Network Streaming
@bx No
@b0 has everyone been notified already?
@bs What is NS?
@br Why do people come on here just to be corporate stooges?
@bp There have already been changes in leadership roles there, but it's not official yet
know 5 people in NS who have been impacted, it's horrible
@bq Skydance the big man on campus. We bought Paramount.
Curious if any Skydance employees will be affected, or solely Paramount staff
Any word on Global Content Distribution? Licensing, sales etc?
@bm DE doesn’t care about DEI and corporate social responsibility.
I'm hearing social impact teams have been cut
@bh Not surprising. Sports isn’t bringing anything to the company.
Has anyone heard anything about the Film side? Or Sports Films?
A few in CBS Sports
@b9 Yeah also in New York and we aren't hearing anything rn
@be He is bothering them.
@bc they don't have to cater to anyone but this is literally the update thread we are on ... for you know updates if people want to share .. no one is bothering them personally ..
