Thread regarding ViacomCBS layoffs

Streaming convergence is more proof...

That the leadership at this company is totally out to lunch. 12 months to combine Pluto and P+ platforms into one? On top of that we're going to have to move all infra to Oracle at the same time? While we can't hire and will be having layoffs because of the merger?

Can't wait for the incoming waves of layoffs. Time to start looking for another job. This place has su-ked my soul dry.

I’m a different know it all and predict that the judge will, at minimum, bring back the old lodge set up at 1515. Skydance deal will happen unless Ellison doesn’t want it to. The mystery bidders are suss otherwise all the law firms advising would’ve at least made Shari give them a courtesy listen. Paramount set up rules for those looking to top Skydance and the mystery bidders didn’t follow the rules. Thats all you need to explain away why Shari ignored them. It doesn’t matter if they offered more money after the bidding window closed.

Looks more like the judge is going to block the Skydance Merger. Hopefully this will keep the know-it-all in his lane for a while and the amateur hour boy will learn his lesson to stop spewing hot air like some Kind of Nostradamus

It’s 1.5B left we already saved 500M in the last round and it counted. That being said cuts are coming along with other cost cutting.

Sure about layoffs with merger?
That's what mergers are all about. PARA now looking ton save $2 Billion - that's not going to happen BEFORE the merger - it has to happen WITH a merger. Somebody name a CBS merger OR split that DIDN'T involve layoffs..

I can only speak for myself, but any depth of any semblance of a connection with any of the brands or company vision is non-existent.

At this point I'm just hanging in for a paycheck until I can't
