Thread regarding ViacomCBS layoffs

How much does a lower salary play into being kept around?

With the recent layoffs and upcoming ones, does having a meager salary actually work out for once? at least for awhile, I mean. Wondering if they are mostly interesting in cutting high earners.

I wish they had laid off the high earners in our department - that would have made much more sense and kept the people who actually do the work - but no - they laid off 50% and kept directors and above. Get rid of two or three of them and keep at least 8 to 10 others.

Anyone is thinking about the contribution level being the factor?

If they were looking at cutting redundant high earners, you'd think they'd layoff 2 of 3 CEOs.

We were told in august layoffs , a salary target had to be reached given by the CEOs and it was up to them how they got there
It didn't include contractors or freelance in the layoffs -only full time employees - but those parts of budgets were disappearing as well unless there was a critical need established for a Contractor or PBE
Don't know if September is different ..
