Paramount kept their staff on hand to handle stressful conditions, surely kept lots of folks on-call to ensure the Superbowl could be streamed on their service, had record viewership numbers and then immediately laid off 800 of the people who helped give them that success the next day so that the executive leadership could pocket all the profits without sharing it with the labor force who built it.

Seriously. Eat the rich.

@rodhilton I’m on a slack group with a bunch of my old coworkers who all now work there and had to follow this in realtime today.

I felt horrible for all of them.

Especially one who had his 1:1 moved to today with his boss, only to find out it was just a coincidence and he wasn’t getting laid off.
