Is the marketing department and BET + Complete done ? I don't know what to believe at this point.I have been told that the next round the remaining people in marketing will be let go. I lost a lot of people on the BET+ side to buyouts and layoffs. I am so disappointed. I guess we don't have to worry about BET Awards ever again.

So many people took the buyout or were let go. Casting, BET+ and Marketing, all was wipe out.
@e2 Exactly lol what a waste of money. Every award show I have worked with them, they always acted like it was their first time (it would be the same people) and they would always drop the ball. Leadership was so clueless.
@d5 all the social teams su-k have you seen the posts? They’ve been embarrassing for years.
Is the social department still around? I know they were short staffed, but even before they lost a lot of people, it took them weeks or months to post content.
@ch BET was caught in the June layoffs and then this past one. They've been hit hard.
Is SM still even in charge there? And does he now report to Cheeks? BET was not mentioned at all in last week's Cheeks re-org but I cannot imagine they need someone at that level and salary in charge of BET anymore.
There is basically no one left in NY for BET marketing. Its a handful of contractors right now. I think a few leaders were asked to stay on until EOY.
Yes I believe they are done too. Scott, "leadership", and a handful of directors have ran this company to ground. Overspending and underperforming is the motto they all lived by.
BET and most of the other cable networks are done. Put a fork in them.
