The Paramount Skydance unit is considering a fresh round of layoffs, according to three people familiar with the matter, and the cuts could total at least 15% of current staff, marking the latest move by editor in chief Bari Weiss as she attempts to focus the news division on streaming video and presenting more points of view to audiences.

This ownership and management isn’t something the old timers at cbs are going to outlast this time. Trouble is they have nowhere else to go, as tv news is dying and the comp is getting bad everywhere.
@n2 sounds like people should leave and stop trying to sabotage, they’re doing fine with that on their own. It’s a business, grow up
@c7 there's already 11 gone the last week from buyouts. You're not even from the news division so stop commenting about other divisions
@c7 CBS news is probably the single biggest division in the entire company if they mean Network , local, and owned and operated stations - the sales forces etc.
15% would be hundreds of people
"considering" "could" "at least" all very uncertain.
15% is like 12 people, relax.
