McCarthy addressed the cuts, which he called a very hard but necessary decision, in a company memo.
(it’s possible for you to read it in full below.)
The unit already had undergone significant downsizing over the last six years.
MTV News staffers took to social media to share the layoff news.
East Coast casting is being folded into the West Coast operation.
This is a tough yet important strategic realignment of our group, McCarthy said.
This is a tough yet important strategic realignment of our group.
These meetings will be followed by individual 1:1s with our HR partners.
Its not something we take lightly.
This is why its so difficult to say goodbye to our friends and colleagues.
To those impacted, we deeply appreciate the passion and creativity you have brought every day.
I want to thank you for your many contributions.
Our leadership team and HR partners are committed to ensuring this process is done with empathy and respect.
Sincerely,Chris
