Sites affected
Webedia France HQs (Levallois-Perret) — brands: AlloCiné, JeuxVidéo.com, Purepeople, Easyvoyage, 750g, etc.
Rationale & context
RCC at Webedia (Fimalac group of Marc Ladreit de Lacharrière) announced late 2023, negotiated in 2024. 80-90 France positions targeted of 3,700 international headcount (~2.4%). Part of a €50M global savings plan. Context: structural crisis of digital advertising on content sites — collapse of display revenues (CPM/CPC plummeting), competition from video platforms (TikTok, YouTube) and generative AI for content, poor 2023-2024 advertising climate. Webedia operates strong brands (AlloCiné, JeuxVidéo.com) but suffers from the 'free content + ads' model. Pure voluntary RCC — preferred instrument in digital media to avoid PSE media noise.

Severance
What employees received — legal base, supra-legal, caps
Legal / collective indemnity
This is the minimum guaranteed by your sector's collective agreement. Paid to every affected employee on top of the statutory legal indemnity.
Journalists or Syntec collective indemnity depending on perimeter
Underlying formula · Managers with ≥ 2 years' seniority: 1/3 month per year from year 1, capped at 12 months. Non-managers: legal minimum.
Supra-legal top-up
The amount negotiated by unions ON TOP OF the legal and collective minimum. Often the largest part of the package.
Standard RCC supplement — exact details not public
Notice period
Period between the dismissal notification and the actual departure. The employee remains paid during this time, whether they work or not.
Not specified in the PSE.
Collective minimum · Syntec collective agreement (IDCC 1486) — Managers: 3 months. Non-managers: 1 to 3 months depending on seniority.
Example — rough estimate
For a manager (cadre) employee with 5 years of seniority and €3,500 gross/month:
| Collective severance | (5 months × €3,500) | €17,500 |
| Supra-legal severance | — | Not publicly disclosed |
Very rough illustrative estimate. Your actual amount depends on your exact reference salary (max of 1/12 of last 12 months or 1/3 of last 3 months, bonuses included — art. R1234-4 French Labour Code), your precise status (manager/non-manager/ETAM), your hire date and your individual situation. For a personalized calculation of the legal indemnity, use the official French Ministry of Labour simulator.
