Skydance启动员工自愿买断并全员每周五天到岗：60亿美元节支计划开始落地
据《好莱坞报道》10 月 26 日报道，Skydance 当日向员工发出内部备忘录，启动一项自愿买断计划，同时宣布全体员工每周五天回办公室工作——原华纳兄弟探索（Warner Bros. Discovery）员工由此与派拉蒙（Paramount）既有的到岗政策对齐；新政策将按办公地点分批推行。备忘录由 David Ellison 与 Ynon Kreiz 署名发出。
备忘录称，不愿接受这一转变的员工可以申请自愿买断，申请者将获得个性化条款。Ellison 与 Kreiz 在备忘录中写道：「请大家理解，我们做这些决定绝不轻率。我们很清楚自己在建设什么：一家讲述全世界观众热爱的故事、以新方式连接观众、引领媒体与娱乐下一个时代的公司。我们有人才、有创作实力、有雄心，我们会一起抵达。」
买断计划是 Skydance 节支措施的一环，公司目标是实现 60 亿美元的运营效率提升。裁员预计也将是措施的一部分，不过 Kreiz 与 Skydance 董事 Gerry Cardinale 此前多次表示，他们预计 60 亿美元中的大部分不会来自裁员，而是靠技术与营销环节的改革实现。
Skydance Launches Employee Buyout Program, Moves All Staff to Five Days In-Office in $6 Billion Cost-Savings Push
Skydance is launching a voluntary employee buyout program, The Hollywood Reporter reported on October 26, with David Ellison and Ynon Kreiz kick-starting what is widely expected to be the first of many cost-saving efforts in a memo to staff on Monday. The memo also announces a mandatory five-days-per-week return to office, effectively aligning former Warner Bros. Discovery employees with what Paramount had already been doing; the new policy will roll out on a location-by-location basis.
For employees who may not want to proceed with that shift, the company will launch the voluntary buyout program, with everyone who applies getting personalized terms. "Please know we don't take any of this lightly," Ellison and Kreiz wrote. "We are clear about what we're building: a company that tells the stories people around the world love, embraces new ways to connect with audiences, and leads the next era of media and entertainment. We have the talent, the creative firepower and the ambition to do it, and we will get there together."
The buyout program is one of many steps Skydance will take to reduce costs and hit its targeted $6 billion in operational efficiencies. Layoffs are expected to be part of it, though Kreiz and Skydance board member Gerry Cardinale have made a point of noting that they do not expect the majority of that figure to come from staff reductions; instead, they expect technology and marketing changes to deliver the cost reductions.
