New Paramount CEO gives workers choice: return to office or take buyout

David Ellison, CEO of New Paramount on Thursday, requested a full -time office to return or accept a separation package.

Ellison dominated Paramount, the parent company CBS, Comedy Central and the famous film studio last month after the FBC’s approval of the FBC’s long -standing integration process with Skydance Media. He informed the employees through a note at the company level that the work policies dating back to the Kofid era ended.

“I think personal cooperation is very vital to build, enhance our culture and lead the success of our business. Our employees are the key to winning, assembly together helps us to innovate, solve problems, exchange ideas, create, challenge each other, and build relationships that make this company wonderful,” Ellison wrote in the memo obtained by Fox News Digital.

“As I said during our city hall, some of the most formation moments in my life occurred in rooms where I was a fly on the wall, listening and learning.” Being together is not only about appearing-it is actively related to work, supporting each other and the team’s efforts, and contributing to our joint momentum. “

Ellison added that “to cancel the full PAAROUNT capabilities”, the employees should be personal.

“With this in mind, we will start a return plan to the office in stages starting from January 2026, where we ultimately move towards a personal work environment where the employees are full -time (five days a week),” Elson wrote.
