A bunch of CNET employees and managers are talking about how ViaComCBS will be laying people off from October 9 through the 13th. Letters are being sent to everyone that they're keeping. If you don't get a letter, you're laid off. This is everyone that's part of the sale to Red Ventures. Involves all brands, CNET, TV Guide, Gamespot, Chowhound, ZDNet, etc.

Bye Abby! Finally Giant Bomb is good again.
Maybe Giantbomb will finally be free from Abby.
The layoffs already started today. A day early.
Finally, GiantBomb dies.
Praying for our Giant Bomb gods/godesses. If CBS f—s with you all I'm cancelling my sub and following you to the next thing.
Spongebob says No merit raises to salaried employees. offices won't open in January
I know that some people have already been informed they are going with CMG and will be employees for Red Ventures. Some were shocked, they didn't think they'd be going with it, more like absorbed in to different roles at ViacomCBS.
Sounds legit.
