Newly merged Skydance mandates staff return to office five days a week, offers Voluntary Buyout Program

The newly merged Skydance Corporation has mandated employees return to the office for five days a week and is offering a Voluntary Buyout Program (VBO). Earlier this month, Paramount and Warner Bros. Discovery completed a $111 billion merger and now operate under Skydance. Paramount Games Studio and WB Games were combined into a single unit managed by Tony Driscoll. In an email to staff seen by Vertical Slice , Skydance CEO David Ellison and co-CEO Ynon Kreiz said they believe a five-day in-office policy across the entire company "is in the best interest" of its staff.
