ViacomCBS Laid Off Dozens More Last Month, 672 Jobs Shed in New York This Year (Exclusive)

ViacomCBS laid off dozens of New York staffers in June as job cuts at the recombined entertainment giant continued. The latest headcount reduction tallied losses of “mid-double digits,” a person with knowledge of the layoffs told TheWrap. Like previous rounds of staff cuts, the June pink slips came at multiple divisions within the publicly traded company. The layoffs are part of integration efforts involved in bringing two separate entities together, the individual said. According to an amended June 24 filing with the New York Department of Labor, ViacomCBS has cut a total of 672 jobs in the state so far this year.
