Paramount job cuts
In November, Paramount further revealed its intention to cut 1,600 positions as part of the divestitures of Televisión Federal in Argentina and Chilevision in Chile. Additionally, the company indicated that another 600 employees opted for voluntary severance packages in light of an impending shift to full-time office work.
Employees at Paramount, who have faced nearly annual corporate reorganizations, have been preparing for layoffs for several months.
