Thread regarding ViacomCBS layoffs

Hostile workplace, what?

"This document is a complaint filed in federal court by Kevin Jordan against Viacom International Inc. Jordan, a highly skilled African American advertising executive, alleges he was discriminated against and subjected to a hostile work environment on the basis of his race while employed at Viacom. Jordan claims he was very successful in his role at VH1 but faced barriers from white employees placed above him who did not understand the network's audience. After complaining about race discrimination, Jordan claims Viacom retaliated against him and ultimately terminated his employment. Jordan is suing Viacom for violations of federal and state anti-discrimination laws."

Chris McCarthy can no longer control this narrative and it's driving him CRAZY.

It’s horrifying to think that a CEO has unleashed trolls upon this thread to attack employees with disparaging remarks and intimidation. Make no mistake, this is the handiwork of Chris McCarthy himself.

Sorry to disappoint you, Liza, but it's not working. 😂

Why did you leave or why were you asked to leave Netflix or Nbcu or Amazon or Fox or Hulu or Disney or news12 or Facebook or Publix or whatever that makes whatever you’re ‘experiencing now’ worth it? Genuinely want to know. If you’re so talented, why stick with a company that is just ‘so horrible’ why not leave? You don’t have to stay. Please, go, everyone deserves happiness.

We all need the call out the insanity of these counter posts. Some horrible people with horrible messaging are trying to bury the good people here. The real workers who deserve better. Trust this post and the positive green +s. Don’t let them bury us.

Current employee and former Netflix, Amazon, and NBCU here. I’ve seen my fair share of bad leadership, but this place takes the cake. Chris and his team are the worst of the worst.

I personally think HR will be useless, but OpenLine or contacting the press outlets mentioned here may be our best bet. This madness has to stop.

Yes, David Ellison is totally looking at this! Just like Jonathan Taylor Thomas is totally getting back to me regarding his attendance to my 10th birthday party. Stay strong.

Openline is outside of the CM hr team that has been in receipt of complaints. Openline also is a direct pipeline to corporate legal. It’s the best internal option for reporting-this advice came from an employment lawyer.

15,000 views and counting. David Ellison is watching.

Hi, Amy 👋

Sowing chaos is the quickest way to lose the plot. Stay focused and don’t let this devolve. Contact one of the news outlets if you have something to share that will move the needle.

Yes, definitely report conflicts of interest directly to the company covering it all up.

Enough said.

It shows just how desperate Chris McCarthy, Amy Campbell, and the MTV Entertainment Studios team is to come here and bully employees. Many of us here are hardworking people making serious and troubling claims. Please stop the immature name-calling and be respectful (both sides).

Is the comment below anymore of an indication that internet comments can be literally from anyone and from anywhere? And even, let me blow your mind, from someone who has no affiliation with anyone or anything to do with the topic mentioned above?!

We all hear your dog whistles, whatever that weirdly means?

The only people motivated to spread lies on this thread are the people’s who livelihoods were affected by doing a pi-s poor job and need someone to blame.

MORE IMPORTANTLY…
There are two publications circling and eager to hear your stories of how Amy and/or Chris helped mentor you, grow your career or realize your passion.

Tell them you’re ready to talk about MTV.

Needless to say, they’re working this weekend…just like everyone at mtv.

Is the racist comment below anymore of an indication over the kinds of people Chris McCarthy surrounds himself with?

We all hear your dog whistles.

Maybe he just su-ked at his job and happens to be black?

The only people motivated to derail the truths on this thread are those whose livelihoods are threatened by it.

MORE IMPORTANTLY…

Paramount is trying to intimidate employees into silence, but at nearly 15,000 views, the press and industry is taking notice. Chris McCarthy and his senior leadership team have abused their power and need to be held accountable.

Going to HR, very demure. very mindful.

Venting on the internet like a child, very tacky. very immature.

Update to the Jordan discrimination suit- a confidentiality stipulation and order in 2020.
Note: A confidentiality stipulation and order is a court order that protects confidential information from being disclosed to the public. They are often used in litigation to protect information that could be used in other ways, such as to assert additional claims.

We cannot let these wealthy executives, that are surely home on a Saturday night scanning this mediocre website, bury this very ‘googleable’ lawsuit that had no legs to stand on! Keep posting it!

Liza Burnett Fefferman and her Communications team are trying to bury the damning post regarding the Jordan V Viacom case involving misconduct by Chris McCarthy and Amy Campbell.

https://www.scribd.com/document/455609392/Jordan-v-Viacom

Myself and other employees will keep reposting this link to increase visibility. Defenders of abuse should be ashamed.

Wow! This further illustrates the lack of diversity in Amy Campbell’s inner circle.

Everyone, just go to bed. We’ll get you your bottles. We’ll hold you tight. We’ll tell you, you ARE the best no matter what those meanies say. It’ll be okay. Just pack up the keyboard, whether it be from a computer or a phone or a tablet, your screen time is done. Time to pretend play as an adult. Pull up those big person pants and move on. ✌🏼

For anyone that wants 'proof' of misconduct claims against Chris McCarthy, here it is.

Chris McCarthy and Amy Campbell are mentioned in a lawsuit they tried to bury back in 2017. The plaintiff was discriminated against and subjected to a hostile work environment on the basis of his race while employed at Viacom.

Have fun spinning this one, Liza. 😉

AC is over all the marketing of CM groups and will be Nick and + - I'm sure this is what all the negative comments are about for her team, it won't stop 9/24.
Look out for the town hall invite

Please reach out to me at Kim.masters@thr.com. On whatever basis makes you comfortable.

Non of Amy Campbell’s crew is worried about being laid off. Let that sink in!

Chris McCarthy, Nina Diaz, Amy Campbell and her crew’s days are numbered.

This sounds like other teams don't want to be taken over by Chris, Amy and MTV Marketing ?

For anyone who is frustrated with HR, scared about retaliation or convinced HR will not take action, contact Paramount Global’s anonymous reporting division Openline. (855) 833-5027 or openline.paramount.com. State the facts only and provide as much detail as possible. This will spark an investigation outside of the usual/ignored channels.

Can we come together to file a class action lawsuit?
