Anyone have any insight? Are teams actively planning for layoffs?

Or can it be considered a done deal by now?

I have worked here for over two decades and this is one of the more frustrating periods I have seen. The actual workload is manageable, but the constant politics between departments and leadership make the day feel heavier than it needs to be. We're... — read more 

I heard a rumor that there will be layoffs on July 15th, and then more on August 15th? Has anyone heard about this? Not sure if it's even true, or what departments. Q2 earnings reports are expected to be on July 30th, so the July 15 layoffs would be... — read more

We’ve become a joke. A punchline. At this point, I wouldn’t even be sorry to turn my back on this place.

Can anyone in HR confirm if promotions were approved, your manager would have been notified either way? I’m hearing there was an extension and some might be approved starting July 1.

I just endured years of horrible anxiety waiting for Paramount to fire me. Now I am transitioning into a brand new career that I couldn't be more excited for. As I look back, I realize that this website never did anything but harm my mental... — read more 

I'd like to be gone before the merger-related bloodbath starts, but there seem to be no jobs available.

Do they get off on Memorial Day like the rest of the company?

Long life PW

Multiple positions currently open at Paramount are listed as fully remote. What's the deal? Are these teams that have always been remote/have been grand-fathered in to stay this way?

Is there any consensus which divisions will be hit the hardest in upcoming merger layoffs? P+ was already decimated rather recently. Thoughts or knowledge on if streaming will be hit hard again? Not sure what to expect with the combining of HBO Max

I heard some promotions were approved and/ or in the process of being approved, but no word on timing. Anyone have any insight on when we will be notified?

I know what's coming and I know I should be looking. But after work I'm so drained that I can't bring myself to update my resume or browse listings. Anyone else feel this way?

Is stip happening next year? Any word?

The way everything was announced before the whole thing started made it sound like people would be getting cut nonstop for months. That so far hasn't been the case. I’m definitely not complaining, I’m just surprised and wondering if something changed... — read more 

Somebody asked me if I had heard of any layoffs coming in June yesterday. Since I haven't seen anything posted here I think the answer is no? Has anyone heard anything?

Was in the tech side of 1515 and heard rumor the CTO is leaving? Is it the streaming CTO (he is gone I thought already) or the CBS CTO? This place is so confusing.

Hearing different rumors about Summer Friday’s this week. WFH every Friday over the summer, two weeks of your choice to WFH. and up to your department head about coming to office Fridays. Any truth of any of these?

What do people think the future looks like for PSKY? Honestly, I thought it was on the rise after the acquisition when it went up to close to $20, but it's obviously dropped back to pre-acquisition levels. Do we think it'll go back up if the WBD... — read more 

At what point does the company give people driving to work for RTO an official break from coming to the office? Gas is at 4.49 currently out east and I cant imagine what the price is at on the west coast. Its clearly even more of a pay cut now.

If you look, you can see what’s going on. Management not really enforcing 5 day RTO. Snacks/eggs not being restocked. Soda/coffee/water machines taking days to refill. The company is feeling the cost squeeze of offering those things now that they... — read more 

Does anyone know if summer Fridays are going to be observed under this new regime? We’re only about 3 weeks away from Memorial Day. Tick tock.

The convergence is coming to an end. Do you have any updates on what is expected to happen with the teams involved in the convergence? What about contractors? What about internal employees? And what about the International teams?

Manager here — trying to sanity check something. I haven’t been given any formal tools, dashboards, or defined thresholds for tracking RTO attendance on my team, but I’m hearing a lot of specifics (e.g., ~50% thresholds, rolling 2–3 month averages... — read more 

I know that would personally make me feel much better about my Phase 2 colleagues being excused from RTO, while the rest of us are required to be in the office doing the same exact job. Maybe some motivational posters? The kitten dangling from a tree... — read more 

Heard that promotions are back on. But this time, the number of promotions is very slim per department. Anyone know anything?

I want to see what people on this board think about the impact of AI on our industry or specific roles/teams. I know that things are already happening and that there is no going back, it's not looking good. But I also thing that the impact is not... — read more 

Anyone know when the expected employment end date is for people who take the voluntary severance? The communication gives a July 31st assumption but says the real date will be given in May.

Curious if anyone’s been getting logged out daily. Thinking it has something to do with tracking for RTO
