Rumours are mounting about a possible work stoppage at a major CBS venue, possibly NY, LA or both. Union worker discontent?

don't make any issues, just do the work

Last year, next week we had layoffs. Let’s see how things play out before the holiday. Anyone hear anything?

An incredible amount of backstabbers, arrogant mediocrities and people who can’t spend a day without spreading gossip. That’s the company’s current culture. I have not experienced such toxicity in any company in which I previously worked. Can a... — read more 

I hear a lot of rumors about big layoffs around the corner. I don't want to alarm anyone, I just want to check if anyone has more information about this?

Leslie Moonves: YOU SHOULD HAVE KEPT ME :)

Back to the topic, has anyone heard that there could be layoffs by the end of the year? I hope to be able to spend the holiday season without that stress.

And who's the top contender of course? HACKMAN. So glad I work for them now instead of CBS. I hope he buys it and throws everyone else and we take... — read more 

Who’s in?

There used to be healthy competition here. Now it seems to me that the company no longer encourages any healthy competition which implies stimulation of better performance, but a very toxic comparison with others which results in backstabbing... — read more 

I don't know one person who'd willingly say they enjoy working here. We have to put up with so much toxicity and abusive behavior on a daily basis that I'm sometimes surprised our attrition is not five times worse than it already is. ViacomCBS needs... — read more 

Contrators, if we want to get paid we have to make sure our manager is in a good mood for them to sign the time sheet. Email pushers get hired and contractors get the short end of the stick. sick of this sh-t.

Heard a rumor that the company is gonna get bought up by another big fish. Anyone else hear anything about that?

Even the contract employees had to write the essay on why we should keep our jobs and not be laid off and what we planned to do to make this combined disaster a better company. If was upstairs first thing would have done would be to make things that... — read more 

I’m a project based employee not tied to any projects and was hired during the pandemic/ my contract continues to be renewed. I did not receive the survey back in March on what my opinions were for returning to the office but I am required to do so... — read more 

Some big company like Comcast or Amazon will scoop up Viacom CBS for pennies, I would say they are worth about 10 cents total these days. So glad I left that company and the future is so bright www.tvc2050.com

Has anyone else heard this rumor? Curious how it will pan out.

I have been trying to find a job for months and I am convinced that my experience ironically prevents me from getting a job. It seems that almost all companies want to hire fresh, young people who are cheaper. This is not a bad thing, I completely... — read more 

There are way too many people that have had to take on 5x their workload due to the layoffs last April, and absolutely nothing has been done about it almost a year later. No title changes ... definitely no raises ... not even an acknowledgment of... — read more 

Someone stated that the job market in the field is coming back now. I’m actively looking for a job and I haven’t noticed these improvements. Unfortunately.

How many of you would leave now if the pandemic had not complicated things in the labor market? More and more people are leaving and it’s amazing to me how much stress people can endure until they finally decide to quit. I’m sure that wouldn’t have... — read more 

After experiencing a merger + pandemic you’d think ViacomCBS would at least pretend to give a damn about the well-being of their employees... instead they continue to take advantage of “project-based” employees that have dedicated their lives for... — read more

Anyone else in the latest layoff round?

At this point, what functionally is the difference between a PBE ("project based employee" or freelancer or permalancer) and a staff employee? The only difference is a lack of benefits. What justification could there still be for misclassifying so... — read more 

Any news about STIP? Are they canceling it like the merit increases were cancelled? Still happening but way below normal? When did CBS bonuses pay out before the merger?

You ever stop and take a look around you? I used to love working here. But now when I look it’s just difficult to realize how much things have changed. Many here had such passion in their roles and we supported one another whenever possible. But now... — read more
