Wendy resigning after 60 Min is cover for her other decisions that hurt the network. Replacing Norah for two guys and the ratings drop was a big one. Expect Norah to come back. not sure how else they can cut cbs news, the digital stuff was all rolled into Sports.

President of CBS News just resigned… nearly exact same timing as Ingrid’s resignation last year. Not willing to take the blame for the next round of cuts due to take place 2-3 weeks after they leave the masthead. Major cuts coming to news if Wendy dipped imo.

the article called it a major reduction/mass layoffs are whole teams or units going away? i concur with posters we are already doing the jobs of last layoffs - there's no one to cover when you call out sick or for vacation.
anyone know any details?
my unit has no all hands or town halls scheduled so far .
