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.

If it's any consolation, P+ bumped me out of the superbowl a handful of times, and I didn't like them anyways for the commercials, so I cancelled today.
Figured, if they can't do a good job with all those employees, it's sure to be worse without them.
I think I would've stayed despite the superbowl antics, but seeing their greed and disregard for performance sealed the deal.
