Bloated Paramount management could be downsized by elimination of DEI baloney, which has nothing to do with television whatsoever. Invest in the nuts and bolts of the industry and not just the nuts. Three CEOs?! For that?!

How much could be saved if jobs of a dubious functional purpose were trimmed out? In other words, what jobs are really necessary to make entertainment? Right now, there are those making content viewed by millions, produced out of the most meager of facilities. As well, the five minute segment with constant commercial interruption doesn't cut it in a world where the some content providers are able to have in-depth three hour conversations with phenomenal guests about the most amazing topics without interruptions. Linear TV is good for breaking news and little else.
Post ID @rlr+1u04LNJp is hilarious. Who doesn't love bacon?! Don't know what all that racist stuff is about.
In response to HardworkingBuck, safer than management, in most cases, due to the bloat in management and union contract stipulations regarding compensation during layoffs. Even in the 403G ranks (vast majority of IBEW workers at CBS), the safety net is fairly robust. I should disclose I'm not a union official and somewhat skeptical of the dollar value of union membership at this point. Our next contract should simply advocate for the same package management already receives, for instance. Unlimited vacation. 2-3 days working from home, more holidays than the union gets, etc. Forego raises for all that. Management might bite. But union folks run the joint. There's security in that. If you were here all during COVID-19, you're good.
15% of the workforce is testament to rampant mismanagement on all levels. No wonder the shareholders are suing.
Great suggestion ReminisRevenge. We can do a over the cover boss. See how people react to loosing their shirts live.
Does this mean the union is safe?
If 1515 becomes a casino, as is rumored, one of the Paramount properties (but not the rancid CBS Mornings show) should do a live show from there as people lose their shirts. It's a bit mercenary, but has the potential to tap the virtually untapped "gallows humor" market. They could use the Wah-Wah-Wah sound from Price Is Right without need to reimburse copyright. It's a win/win.
Get rid of 1515 and bring it back to billionaire row on 57th. We need to see who's left.
Layoff with 3 CEOs and they get rid of folks in the mailroom and security of 57th Street? C'mon, yo! Income inequality flim flam man. Sounds like a childish gambit Gambino!
A downvote here, like in the inclusion world, means an upvote. FYI.
What good inclusion week gonna do you if you got no job? Include in what? Byron Allen on the way for the save!
Sounds like you're just a bitter, racist pig
DEI baloney? wtf does that mean? That org is a few people. I do agree fire 2 CEOs
Bring back Moonves and ditch the Viacom side. Bo-m, problem solved.
Our 3 ceos identify as 1 ceo. Pronouns Moe/Larry/Curly
