“Skydance” Internal Memo


The following is an internal email, sent to staff Monday, October 26, 2026, by Skydance co-CEOs David Ellison and Ynon Kreiz:

“…Team,

“At Skydance, our goal is to build the next-generation media and entertainment company, powered by creativity and technology. The memo emphasizes a commitment to being creative-first, audience-focused, tech-forward, and globally scaled to win in a competitive environment. It highlights that building a strong, connected culture through open communication and collaboration is a top priority. 

“Stressing that in-person collaboration is vital for generating the best creative ideas, the leadership announced a transition to a mandatory five-day-per-week in-office schedule across all of Skydance. 

“While acknowledging this will alter current routines, leadership stated the policy will roll out in a phased approach by location with advance notice and manager support. 

“Additionally, recognizing that the shift may not suit everyone, the company introduced a Voluntary Buyout (VBO) Program for eligible employees, with personalized details and decision windows sent separately. 

“The memo concludes by thanking staff for their dedication.
