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 believe at least 50% of the jobs here are eventually going to be moved overseas, and most of the NYC employees will be gone.
@qe The sad part is that pretty much everyone at WB makes more than us Paramount folks
Roles that are liaison between teams. Tool implementation will replace these roles.
@OP I would also think sales will be hit hard.
Any things that starts with “business” like strategy, development, affairs. Definitely anyone at wb making a higher salary v their counterparts at paramount Skydance. Bad luck for you if you are at wb and your paramount counterpart was hired by new regime.
my boss expects more streaming layoffs because he hears DE wants many of the HBO Max teams that work with Bloys to stay - he thought maybe late fall
Shared service teams
Corporate. HR, finance, tech etc.
IMO - Operations
