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
Forget a layoff
Just quit. It's not getting any better
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!
Ex communicated is preferential?
When you'd rather get laid off than stay and work, you must smarter than a CBS employee.
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?
Sponge Backish SquarePants & Phish Nicer
Your ideas and plans for back to office are terrible. 2 years no performance evaluation speaks how stale the work culture is. It's a shame for an inclusive company can't even evaluate employee performance appraisal. If you claim inclusive, do you... — read more
Shoulder to shoulder and backs to the wall
CBS...the Alamo of broadcasting.
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
Blueness once again invades CBS air, and at the end of two good football games. As Vince Lombardi would have said, "WHAT THE HE-L IS GOING ON OUT THERE?" I suppose you could chalk up the technical SNAFUs to the pandemic, but that's as weak an... — read more
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.
Say Goodbye Losers
https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/business/story/2021-11-30/viacom-sells-cbs-studio-radford-lot-hackman So glad I work with Hackman now:). CBS you done.
Work stoppage rumour
Rumours are mounting about a possible work stoppage at a major CBS venue, possibly NY, LA or both. Union worker discontent?
return to office
don't make any issues, just do the work
Nov 18, 2020 layoffs
Last year, next week we had layoffs. Let’s see how things play out before the holiday. Anyone hear anything?
The most toxic atmosphere
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
Just rumors, or...?
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?
Viacom CBS Update
Leslie Moonves: YOU SHOULD HAVE KEPT ME :)
What to expect by the end of the year?
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.
Say Bye Bye CBS Studio Center
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
LET’S UNIONIZE
Who’s in?
comparison with others
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 can't think of a place more toxic than this
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
Frustration
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.
Is ViacomCBS getting sold?
Heard a rumor that the company is gonna get bought up by another big fish. Anyone else hear anything about that?
Say Bye Bye and Bye Losers
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-08-23/viacomcbs-eyes-sale-of-l-a-studio-as-demand-surges-for-stages Good riddance. The way CBS treated their employees this is the least that can happen to them Keep selling yourself until you have... — read more

Kurtzman Gets $160 Million - Been Told More Layoffs For 2 Years
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
