@rodhilton That's an awful lot of conjecture to say that the people who worked on the Super Bowl were then laid off the next day. Any sources? My wife was laid off at Hasbro in 2020 and it was ultimately part of a consolidation strategy by the company. Seems like the case with Paramount. Before you jump on me, I'm a union DP who is staunchly pro-union, BUT I'm fully against misinformation. 6 comments
@rodhilton Replying to myself since I can't continue this conversation publicly because @rodhilton blocked me: Where are your sources? Who was part of the full staff on call for the Super Bowl that was laid off? Work force reduction is common. It's not a matter of the rich pocketing profits because lay offs don't happen at profitable companies. Legacy media companies like Paramount and WB aren't profitable. You should be upset with the lack of social safety net for those laid off.  @ajyoung @rodhilton It is too common to have people laid off after "a good year" right now. It is not normal. @ajyoung @rodhilton lmao "layoffs don't happen at profitable companies" might be the funniest thing I've read this week. Do you believe yourself or are you just hoping the rest of us are sniffing billionaire farts too and won't notice?  @ajyoung @rodhilton thanks for the follow up AJ. I was unsure if I should block Rod because of what he implied in this toot did not match the article. But knowing he blocked you, I’ll block him. |

@ajyoung you're missing the point.
Everyone who worked at that company 2 days ago was supporting Paramounts goals, which included Paramount+, the Superbowl, etc. Everyone played a role.
And I promise you that lots of people were on-call and it was an all-hands-on-deck situation heading into the biggest broadcast of the year, and none of the people who were working that hard knew that layoffs were coming within days of it happening.
RECORD viewer numbers the day before 800 layoffs.
