CBS News staffers ‘freaking out’ under new Paramount boss mandates

So??

It's interesting how nobody really thinks these five days in the dreary cubicle farms is either necessary or even desirable. It's always instituted as a kind of collective punishment or some excuse to get a lot of people either to quit or get fired. It's obviously just shit on the face of it, but of course, shitty decisions for shitty reasons are the essence of modern corporate "management."

[quote] “I believe that in-person collaboration is absolutely vital to building and strengthening our culture and driving the success of our business,” the son of billionaire Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison wrote.

brain-dead corporate speak nobody is expected to believe.

Oh, well, dead inside corporations get a few more years I guess before collapsing completely.

Millennials and Zoomers are going to have to leave the comfy confines of their homes and go to the office five days a week ? Seriously ? And they're going to have to interact with others and s-s-s-s-socialize ?

Jesus take the buyout. Isn't CBS news about to become a Free Press Bari Weiss led Israeli propaganda outfit anyway?

Eldergay alert @ r4 = one of the remaining who still watches CBS "News".

Will Gayle King of CBS Morning News with Gayle King, Featuring Gayle King leave when her contract is up next summer? She already took a pay cut last contract.

Until her contract is up, Gayle's ass better be in her office chair Monday through Friday!

It's not 1971 anymore when there were only a handful of tv channels and everyone watched the network news at night. A lot of people don't watch broadcast tv anymore and just watch streaming thru Roku or Amazon Fire stick. The network news is a RELIC from the past.

Larry Ellison's son is a right-wing nutter and only has his job because he's a nepo baby

Ahem

Uh, government Boomer workers are outraged over being called back into the office too, hon.

Also, r10, he has evil eyes.

R12: Uhhh the Baby Boomers are retired if you haven't noticed. You must mean Gen X? They are the asshole corporate overlords now and they deserve to be recognized.

R12 Boomers are retired, sweetie.

No they’re not. Boomers are still working.

The youngest of the Boomers are in their 60s. If they haven’t retired or been laid off - - - they soon will be.

never watching cbs or paramount again

Working remotely is a new status symbol.

R15: You know, the way that Gen X turned "Boomer" into a slur? I think it's their turn. It's high time for Gen X to step out from the shadows of Boomers and to feel and get all of the credit that they so richly deserve. They've been ignored for far too long.

I would be so more productive working at home. The amount of time busybody cubemates talk to me about nonsense or deciding where to order lunch from easily takes an hour out of my day.

They pay Gayle King and her wigs at least $4 million a year.

She hasn’t been on her own morning show in two weeks and she is perpetually gone. Like, ALL the time. So much so that NY tabloids often mock her for it. They should cut her entitled ass and leave lower level employees alone.

R20, hon? GenX didn’t turn the word “boomer into a slur”. That was Millennials. You sound like a drooling simpleton.

[quote]No they’re not. Boomers are still working.

Boomers were born between 1946-64. The oldest boomer is now 78, the youngest is 61. The youngest will be eligible to retire next year.

R23: You're giving us far too much credit, which is highly unusual for your generation in relation to ours, HON. I very clearly remember Gen X ragging on Boomers when we were just wee children.

But, I understand. You're getting old. You might be getting a little soft in the head.

Boomers are retired or very soon going to be. And Gen X had nothing to do with boomer being turned into a slur, that would be millennials and z on TikTok.

R26: NOPE.

You guys were hashing it out in the 80s. Remember Family Ties?

Half of millennials weren't even borne when that show was still on-air.

Ms Gayle and her wig was in her anchor chair this morning after weeks away. She'll be here this week, except probably for Friday, then likely missing at least half of next week. There's NO way the new owners of that network are going to keep her. Sister doesn't want to work. She wants to party and talk with celebrities. She's obsessed with celebrity culture, especially for a woman her age. This whole narrative of her being some 'serious' or 'respected' journalist is a load of shit and that B.S. is on full display every day.
