As Skydance merges with Warner Bros. and Paramount, the company offers voluntary redundancy and mandates return to the office

Skydance - the newly formed corporate megazord combining Warner Bros and Paramount - has issued a full five-day return-to-office mandate to employees, and offered voluntary buyouts as the merging of the companies begins. The company was formed earlier this month following a much-debated $110bn Paramount acquisition of Warner Bros., in which both companies were squished together to be led by a refreshed board , which includes former UK prime minister Tony Blair (in an advisory role), philanthropist Laurene Powell, and former Activision CEO Bobby Kotick .
