Lol what is happening

Hard not to notice — it feels like most of the layoffs are hitting women. Or is that just me?

Some people are eligible for the annual bonus and others aren’t. Does anyone know why? As for the Warn notice, aren’t they supposed to pay extra for this?

Please be kind I feel d-mb for not quite understanding this. So Warn act gives me 13 weeks till Jan 30th but where does severance come into play? Does it start right after the 30th? If it’s 2 weeks for every year I should be getting 8 weeks. And the... — read more

This is just to put it in the perspective. We are a rounding error in this economy.

Does anyone know what the targets were for this round and what they will be for future rounds? Do we expect more groups to be cut more or wait for RTO Phase 2 happens also to see who leaves then

The EVP sent out an email stating that the notifications have been delivered. So if you did not hear anything, you are safe!

If you have, please share what the package looks like, if that’s okay with you.

Now, people are talking about 12/2. I've asked my director and she's saying it is not happening, we are all done - what are your thoughts?

I'll complile the list and send it to the admins, they will push it on Twitter and journalists will pick it up as they follow the admins on Twitter. I've sent emails to the Reporter and Variety already but other outlets need to pick it up. They are... — read more

...at an O&O. We lost 8 total across 3 departments.

They gutted us last time! I didn't think anyone would be let go this time because so many people were let go during the summer round of layoffs. Is BET done?

If we're laid off as fully remote, what if the WARN Act isn't added into our severance? Is there anything that can be done? I've heard about the class action lawsuit last year from a remote worker laid off last year who was working in CA but... — read more

Streaming has been heavily hit. Will it be hit heavily again 2nd round?

Does anybody know what’s happened at Comedy Central and CC and former MTVE Social? What about at MTV itself?

I am 99% certain I will be cut. Can getting an attorney help with anything or I just have to sign? If yes, please recommend someone, I live close to the lot.

Currently on FMLA leave, am I safe? I have major issues with panic attacs, cannot drive or socialize - this does not help at all. I wish you all good luck. Love yourself no matter what.

Word is some who survived in NY Corporate got retention bonuses basically saying they will be laid off in the future. If you’re in Corp NY make sure you get a piece of that pie !

Are we sure today will be the main day?

Is anybody else really, really worried about this?

Any word on layoffs in the linear cable world (MTV, VH1, etc)?

Any one have news on layoffs in BALA departments?

Any word on the untalented and overpaid people of consumer products?

Nothing happening with my team so far, but from what I understand this will be a whole day thing, with notifications going out periodically. Needles to say, not much work will get done today.

Especially about which orgs are affected, if you can. Thanks, and good luck to us all.

So it begins

For those affected: your line manager will schedule a zoom meeting with you tomorrow morning, and will give you the news one-on-one in that call. There is a rough script they will have to follow. They will tell you about when your last day is... — read more
