Former CBS correspondent lived many workers' fantasy: Telling off boss

Scott Pelley may have lost his job after publicly blasting CBS management. But for many workers, he lived out a fantasy. In a staff meeting this week, the longtime “60 Minutes” correspondent questioned the qualifications of top executives and accused them of undermining the storied news program. While his bosses dismissed him, saying he exhibited “remarkable incivility and contempt," many others are cheering Pelley, saying it was like watching a fantasy play out after years of biting their tongues around bosses they viewed as clueless.
