I need this to be over, one way or another. I just need to move on. This is destroying my mental health.

I know today’s a rough one for a lot of our team, and it’s important we’re here for each other. If you’re wondering how to help someone who’s struggling, here are a few ideas: Acknowledge Their Feelings: Even something as simple as, “I can’t imagine... — read more 

Looks like a lot of people have already received their notifications - what are the chances they sent everything out today? Could it be that if we haven't received anything yet, we're safe? I haven't been here long (just over a year) so I'm not sure... — read more 

...the Pep Boys get shitcanned with no mercy when the merger happens? Too bad they get the golden parachute, but I hope they never work again. Clown show since day one. Fu-k all three

We are in this cr-p together. Be nice to each other. Be nice to yourself as well. I know it’s hard to lose a job, we all are afraid for our livelihoods. But if you ruin your health, physical and emotional, having a job will not make a difference... — read more 

How the “Office of the CEO” can announce $500 million in cost cuts (aka our jobs) while ALSO taking a combined $9 MILLION in BONUS money tells you everything you need to know! Why more people internally haven’t noticed this is beyond me... — read more 

I’ve seen this one before, it’s a classic. The bad guys win, the good guys are out on their ear and the ship sinks anyway.

Tomorrow, good, hardworking people who are experts in their field will be laid off. There will also be people who will not be laid off but truly deserve to be. The way leadership has mismanaged this company and destroyed livelihoods and dreams is... — read more

A bunch of HR people are booked from 9am-6pm with 30 minute meetings. Are layoffs happening right now?

A previous post said streaming is doing automated emails in am. Does anyone know if thats accurate? Is that all divisions under streaming org? I did read how Nick handled it; they posted Streaming would go that way.

Now that we’re almost in the last 24 hours or so for this shithousery to come to an end, how are you all doing?

I'll happily take the severance money and leave without looking back.

Or we get the call invite on Monday and then we will be booted on Tuesday? How many more sleepless nights?

If you are being laid off, can you elect to be paid severance with regular paychecks INSTEAD of a lump sum? When you get paid all at once they take out a larger % of taxes. And I want to prevent that. Has anyone had success asking for this? — read more 

How many folks work under Paranount Streaming total?

Not even as an official part of the Phase (Insert any number). After weeks and weeks of anticipation, growing anxiety and fear, all of which have done quite a number on my health, it’s finally over. And all I feel is relief! I think this is the first... — read more

There's a thread regarding PW's scheduled Town Hall below, and the consensus seems to be that everyone under PW got an invite to the Town Hall on 10/2, so that in itself is not an indicator. But a few weeks ago right after the August cuts, PW sent... — read more 

I’ve seen a lot of people snicker at the apparent hatred the 3 chuckleheads at the top have for streaming. My question is why would they and what is the evidence? Is the long term game to pull out of streaming? Am I crazy or does that not seem like... — read more 

How tone deaf are these id--ts? Let's talk about how great the company is doing before we fire 1,000 people on Tuesday. I can't wait until they are gone.

We all read the email about Erin leaving, the information around the teams is that Tom Ryan is out too. Has anyone else heard this?

Is my team impacted? I tracked my SVP calendar and they just got a new HR meeting set for Monday. Upvote if my team is F’ed

Don't know about you all, but this is having a serious negative effect on my health. I'm doing what I can control- resume is updated, I'm applying. I try to manage my stress in a healthy way. What I can't control is the way our managers and 3... — read more 

It's a little crazy that job postings for Paramount Ad posted this week/today and even one for Nick Marketing ... The rest are CBS related news sports stations The Nick one will report to the SVP Design Animation

We just received a calendar invitation for a tech Town Hall on 10/2 at 11:30am est, basically a week after the tech layoffs. What do you guys think of that?

Do we need a “get ready for inclusion week” email right before major layoffs? “Inclusion for all, except for half of you!”

I am finding it increasingly difficult to remain motivated at work at this point. What are you guys doing to remain productive as we wait for the axe to fall (or not)?

It's easy to tell managers that haven't gone through layoffs before, because they refuse to address the big elephant in the room. I'm sure they they mean well, but if I were in their shoes I'd be giving space to my teams to upskill, sharpen resume... — read more
