They Fired the kitchen staff that has been there for almost 40 years, and replaced them with these chain restaurants. Everything in the new cafeteria is so expensive now!!!

Are you talking about The Lodge?
Honestly, it's 2025. We don't need live trucks or live truck operators for news anymore. Anybody can do video editing & our camera crews have never had any special talent over any random person on Facebook or TikTok with a smartphone
IBEW helped drive CBS & CNN into the ground - but you left out another least watched IBEW shop - WPIX - PIX11 - channel 11, the laughing stock of NYC news for decades
Unions have outlived their usefulness about as much as staff employees have outlived their usefulness to the unions. CBS might just be the first of the big 3 to fall. Who needs networks when the affiliate model is almost obsolete, something the great Leslie Moonves predicted 15 years ago. That was before it was realized he had a staffer on the payroll for s-x though, so I suppose his business acumen was invalidated at that point. Ellison is buying content. The rest of the package will be parsed out. CBS is basically an elephant graveyard.
Ignore Junior from IBEW - we all do. He hasn't worked at CBS in years. Just poking his nose in other peoples business as usual
I remember the previous IBEW president was the worst cameraman of the lot. All he ever did was literally just show up before a live shot only to do the live camera & then leave immediately after. He used to take off every single thursday for "union business" until one of the news directors stopped that when they found out about it. I think he was supposedly allowed 1 day a month off to do union biz. Of CBS techs are so proud of "Ralph" - go look on their 1212 FB page, they rarely post anything - and literally have less than 5 reactions of all the techs they represent. Their labor day parade is even more humiliating - there's only about 4 total people in the parade and they are the 4 brass from the office. Proud to be IBEW sounds like BS
Whoever posted about getting in b/c of their dad is the very same inbred taking CBS News down. IBEW tech union apparently kicked digital & streaming down the road contract after contract for years - until it was Paramount that finally got us into streaming with Pluto. Inbreds in news like this tech - is proud that his father's generation got rid of everything they are always whining about - no job protection No pension, no seniority etc etc. inbreds across the board that were never qualified to work at CBS - led by Peter Dunn himself, Tanya Simon at 60 Minutes, John Di-kinson at CBS evening News etc. etc. The inbreds will be the first people on the list in the letter to whoever the new owners may be. Notice how the lowest rated news programs in broadcast & cable ( CBS & CNN ) are run by disgruntled IBEW techs. If Ellison takes control - you know he isn't going to be favorable to inefficient low end techs
Did the Deloitte mongos recommend the new kitchen?
I've been a proud IBEW 1212 worker for 25+ years. I stand behind the union only because my father got me in.
- .. Go Ralph!
You can learn a lot about layoffs waiting in line at the Starbucks across from the Broadcast Center....
That's all we need is a recession on top of layoffs
IBEW layoffs this Friday the 14th at 524
agree the union riff raff has to go. they have been mostly unaffected by the rounds of layoffs which has in turn caused other more productive employees to lose their jobs. BS
From what I've seen - the union riff raff protect the most lazy & useless of the lot - in order to keep as much duplication as possible. If you're talented at several skills - you are a threat to the union. Basically the more years you have in the union - the less skills you have or are called to do & the useless survive. The greedy selfish ones who have had 30-40 yrs & still allow for the younger brothers to be laid off seriously need to finally go. Let others have a career and pay a mortgage & send their kids to college. We're going to pen another letter to cheeks and plead to get rid of you cretins
To appease trump, the company decided we should all pay tariffs on our breakfast//lunch.
This seems hardly worth complaining about considering the implications of massive job losses.
It is more expensive, but I'm barely in the office enough to care. Execs have their own cafeteria, I wonder what that's like/they are probably getting the same menu at a discount... (or free).
To: "Good riddance to long term employees "
No. Just no. That's ageism. Please don't generalize. Having worked somewhere a long time doesn't mean you deserve to get laid off.
Oh my, the same people only worked there for 40 years? Rookies at CBS. Let somebody else have a career - jeez! Good riddance to anybody at CBS that's there longer than 30 years
To the person who last commented - wtf does that have to do with anything?
Speak English
Yeah, at 1515.
The NY office? That’s a bummer
