Thread regarding Paramount Global layoffs

It’s great we all get the flu and a stale bagel! That’s teamwork!

@pp lol in what way? The other members of the team are remote. Who would I be collaborating with in person? Maybe I could collaborate with some people I know on football parlays, but I don't think that's the type of collaboration DE was talking about.

@pp How exactly can we be the problem when we work for a globally distributed team and the majority of our co-workers are not in our office?

As opposed to before DE takeover where nothing was getting done for the last 6 years because of WFH (sarcasm). What a crock of $hit.

@p6 sounds like you’re part of the problem

I literally had zero contact with another human one day last week except for a couple of head nods when passing someone on my way to the rest room. How's that for collaboration?

@nn Right? As if he's wandering around an office and actually interacting with the people desperately trying to keep his (father's) business afloat while he hires incompetent executives and actively pursues actions that alienate customers, advertisers, and potential business partners. There has probably never been a more out of touch leader in all of Paramount, CBS, or Viacom history -- and that includes Captain Clueless, Phillipe Dauman.

Ellison doesn't know anybody or their effort from a joke in the wall

Free food????? CBS Broadcast Center got jack sh-t!

He uses ai to try to sound human and runs by his press. Has no leadership experience or skill. Just name drops Steve Jobs and his dad to get cred. Pathetic

Positive ????? I keep thinking this has to be a nightmare. We really have to do this 5 days a week? My floor barely has anyone on it and everyone still fights for little rooms for zooms. This is ridiculous. I don’t know what I expected but this is far far worse.

let's be real, that email was drafted and scheduled before the holidays. the building could have burned down and we still would have gotten a "thanks for a great and productive first week" message.

@e1 None of us were productive or positive…that was the whole point of my original post. And we sure as he-l know he doesn’t care about any of us.

Ya David knows you specifically do well. Keep thinking he cares about you

@cm What about this original post or any of the responses led you to believe that any of us believe anything the mf-er says? We all know we are being gaslit. But thanks for not giving us the benefit of the doubt or understanding the concept of sarcasm.

Who cares anything about what Ellison says - are you serious?. Who would believe a single thing he says & how would that affect anybody's daily life? Keep drinking the kool-aid. Wow

DE’s statement is so trumpidian

@a2 Yes. Just ask the Caribbean remote workers. They know all about slacking.

DE QUOTE
“ The positive energy and increased productivity that come from being together in-person are already evident, and it’s great to see. ”

Buahahhaha. Keep gaslighting us

You will be taking a big dump tomorrow.

@OP
Um theres far more slackers than you that have survived decades at Viacom CBS. You think you are few ?
