在赢得对华纳兄弟探索的收购战后不久，派拉蒙的高管们便公布了一项未来三年为合并后公司削减60亿美元成本的计划，但坚称此举可在不进行大规模裁员的情况下完成。但好莱坞对此并不相信。好莱坞几大颇具影响力的工会以及创意界人士纷纷谴责这笔将业内两大巨头合并、价值1,100亿美元的交易，称其具有反竞争性，并将导致工作岗位和机会减少。派拉蒙首席执行官大卫.埃里森(David Ellison)上周一向投资界表示，节省的成本将主要来自“非劳动力资源”-主要是通过整合技术平台、外部服务合同、房地产及其他企业管理费用。埃里森提到了将两家公司的流媒体服务HBO Max和Paramount+合并为一个平台的计划，称这样可以大幅减少业务重叠和成本。但分析师和传媒业专家表示，交易完成后该公司将承担790亿美元的债务负担，再加上埃里森将每年电影产量增加至30部的承诺所带来的巨额成本，大规模裁员恐怕在所难免。
