Paramount Leadership Alludes to Layoffs If Merger Does Not Go Through

A proposed merger between Paramount and Skydance, which was agreed to on Monday, per CNBC, is in limbo until approval from Paramount majority shareholder Shari Redstone.

The plan, revealed Tuesday at Paramount’s annual shareholders meeting, includes cutting costs by roughly $500 million and removing “duplicative teams and functions across the organization, real estate, marketing, and other corporate overhead categories.”
