Skydance mandates five-day office return and offers voluntary buyouts after Warner Bros and Paramount merger

Skydance, formed by the merger of Warner Bros and Paramount, has issued a five-day return-to-office mandate and offered a one-time voluntary buyout. CEO David Ellison and co-CEO Ynon Kreiz said in an internal email that in-person collaboration is vital, without specifying which teams are eligible. Skydance now includes game studios such as Netherrealm, Portkey Games, Avalanche Software and Paramount Games Studios, and it is unclear whether their developers were offered the buyout.
