Thread regarding Viacom Inc. layoffs

More info on layoffs

I can confirm there will be a huge round in July or early August. I can't say which departments it would hit, because it would give away my identity.

You don't have to worry about a thing if you have a good relationship with your manager and/or have an important role. But if you think somebody else can do your job for less pay, then you should be cautious.

Do not assume that if you have have a good relationship with your manager, you are safe, that is very bad advice. I know managers who had to let go of people they actually considered friends and did things with outside of the office.

If you've been here a while, let's say 4 years or more, it's worth it to wait out the package if you can bear it, they are pretty decent.

Ummm, we all had a good relationship with our manager and got cut. Don't assume they are that powerful. They aren't.
