CAA is about to implement significant layoffs and furloughs this week that will amount to as much as a double-digit reduction in the workforce at the Hollywood talent agency, insiders tell Variety. Cuts are believed to be coming across the board, with about 90 agents and executives on staff facing pink slips and 275 support staffers facing furloughs in numerous departments at the agency and across offices in Los Angeles, Nashville, New York and London.
