Left with a bad taste in my mouth

I worked in several companies before I came here and left primarily in search of better options, not because I was particularly dissatisfied with anything. This is the only company I leave with regrets and bad taste in my mouth. In fact, it... — read more

Overwhelmed and burned out

This company has totally drained my energy. It's getting harder and harder for me to get everything done. I am completely demoralized by the fact that while I am overwhelmed with work, some colleagues hardly do anything. The distribution of work... — read more

Mask Mandates

at ViacomCBS seem a bit hypocritical when talent, on every show, regardless of distancing, can be seen sans mask. So, masking only applies to behind-the-scenes workers? Also, why should masking apply to those who have already been post positive? It's... — read more

OUT!

The only thing better than retirement is being retired while you're still working at the company.

Management...

is never around at CBS. Company policy now allows them unlimited vacation, which translates to very little work being done. Great strategy for a business.

Nora Gone

Dekoupil the new Jeff Glor. Next on the block? G. King. No kidding. News purge. And, it took two co-presidents to do this? Divest now.

This thread sucks

Some loser has been posting about his new job at Hackman Capital over and over and nobody says anything about layoffs, which I know have occurred

Undercover Boss

...is a great show, but perhaps it's time for CBS to try Undercover Employee and out all the cr---y bosses, especially at their own place.

my favorite thing to do

Watch all the CBS errors, especially during live sports, and know that the place is loaded with bloated meeting dwellers who'll bamboozle the management levels above them and do nothing to fix the problem. It's riotous!

Backstabbing is the new norm

If you're planning to stay here for a while, you better learn the timeless art of backstabbing. That has become the main method of dealing with people here - on all levels. I thought as employees we were all in this together, or at least it was us... — read more

The damage is irreparable

I'm leaving soon and I don't think I'll look back too much. I'll finally get some relief when I leave. However, I’m still sorry because I think this company could have done a lot better. When people leave, it may be easy to replace them. However... — read more

Manager-less CBS

More and more bangin' out because of the Rona. The rest work from home anyway. Only the labor folk remain, enhancing the Bakish spongy empire. Weak legs?

Any place is better

Even working at McDonald's would be an improvement in many, many ways (sadly, for some it would be an improvement in pay as well.) I wouldn't advise this place even to people who are desperate for a job. Why punish them further? If you're smart... — read more

Zoo

It's always productive when you have a manager who looks at his subordinates as so many monkeys in a cage, meanwhile genuflecting to his own upper tier but offering little to the industrious common cause. THAT'S a prize but never a surprise.

Goobers

Layoffs?

It's highly unlikely any layoffs are coming as they can hardly keep employees as it is. Even in higher-paying union areas, people are leaving because many of the other areas are comprised of people now working from home which has bred obvious... — read more

Losers

Viacom has always had a propensity towards hiring outside. Now they have manager turnover syndrome.

PBE STRIKE

PBEs need to walk out now more than ever. Viacom’s “contract” employees need to stand up for themselves now more than ever. The company cannot function without you.

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

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.
