由派拉蒙以1100亿美元收购华纳兄弟探索而组建的天空之舞公司,正在向部分员工提供自愿离职买断,以削减成本。
Skydance, the company formed by Paramount’s $110bn takeover of Warner Bros. Discovery, is offering some employees voluntary buyouts as it looks to cut costs.
据《好莱坞报道者》报道,联席首席执行官大卫·埃里森和伊农·克雷兹周一在致员工备忘录中宣布了该计划。
Co-chief executives David Ellison and Ynon Kreiz announced the programme in a memo to staff on Monday, The Hollywood Reporter reported.
备忘录未说明哪些职位符合资格。符合条件的员工将收到列明条款的个人录用通知,并有一段固定期限决定是否接受。
The memo did not say which roles are eligible. Eligible staff will receive a personal offer setting out their terms and will have a set period to decide.
备忘录将其描述为一次性录用。天空之舞未透露有多少员工符合资格,也未透露将支付多少费用。
The memo described it as a one-time offer. Skydance has not said how many employees qualify or how much it will pay.
埃里森和克雷兹在备忘录中写道:“随着我们整合团队,我们认识到并非所有人都能在这里看到自己的未来,我们尊重这一点。”
“As we bring our teams together, we recognize that not everyone will see their future here, and we respect that,” Ellison and Kreiz wrote.
与此同时,天空之舞将要求全公司员工每周五天到办公室办公。根据备忘录,该规定将按地点逐步实施,员工将提前收到通知。
At the same time, Skydance will require staff across the whole company to work from the office five days a week. The rule will be introduced location by location, and employees will get advance notice, according to the memo.
买断计划是节省超过60亿美元计划的一部分。这将包括一些裁员。不过,公司预计大部分节省将来自其他方面,例如共享办公室和合并两家公司的流媒体技术。
The buyouts are part of a plan to save more than $6bn. That will include some job cuts. However, the company expects most of the savings to come from elsewhere, such as sharing offices and merging the two firms’ streaming technology.
派拉蒙本月初完成了对华纳兄弟探索的收购,随后将合并后的集团更名为天空之舞,以埃里森创立的制片公司命名。
Paramount completed its takeover of Warner Bros. Discovery earlier this month. It then renamed the combined group Skydance, after the production company Ellison founded.
这笔交易将派拉蒙影业、哥伦比亚广播公司、华纳兄弟、HBO和CNN等制片厂和频道汇聚在一起。
The deal brought together studios and channels including Paramount Pictures, CBS, Warner Bros., HBO and CNN.
埃里森此前曾采用过同样的方法。据《综艺》报道,去年派拉蒙实施每周五天办公规定时,约有600名员工选择领取遣散费离职,埃里森曾向股东透露。
Ellison has used the same approach before. When Paramount brought in a five-day office rule last year, about 600 employees took severance instead, he told shareholders, Variety reported.
备忘录称:“我们在派拉蒙亲眼见证了(办公室办公政策)的益处,希望天空之舞的每个部门都能共享这些益处。”
“We’ve seen the benefits firsthand at Paramount, and we want every part of Skydance to share in them,” the memo said of the office policy.
