@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.

@rodhilton

I'm sure they're so happy to hear this from their wealthy bosses as they face unemployment:

“Your talents have helped us advance our mission of unleashing the power of content around the world.”

@rodhilton I'm just going to reply with this to all layoffs in future. My post from yesterday.

@rodhilton That's an awful lot of conjecture to say that the people who worked on the Super Bowl were then laid off the next day. Any sources?

My wife was laid off at Hasbro in 2020 and it was ultimately part of a consolidation strategy by the company. Seems like the case with Paramount.

Before you jump on me, I'm a union DP who is staunchly pro-union, BUT I'm fully against misinformation.

@rodhilton Let's just try it. Eat one billionaire. Lets see if that shifts their political will / financial programs. It's just providing *incentive*!

#megaCorporations have no soul, no conscience and are the scourge of the earth.

They would have the last tree cut down to use as fuel to cook the last meal so they could sell it for buck.

When did the Dollar become Almighty at the expense of our brothers, sisters and the plants and animals?

@rodhilton

Crap like this is why I will never work for a large corporation again. Jeez, I hope they all go on strike during the next big sportsbowl event.

@rodhilton

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.

#EatTheRich
#FuckParamount

@rodhilton I've become more fond of "Eat the rich".

I used to think "Eat them? There's barely anything on them!"

The resources the rich capture aren't available to all. If we ate them, the resources would be shared about, which would be an improvement and more than a single meal for many.

But the real harm of the rich is they make the decisions. A tiny part of their wealth gives them enormous power that restructures society around maintaining their power.

And the decisions they make stink. They're just awful for everyone else: the other 99.999% of people.

And this why we should eat them (metaphorically, or otherwise). Not because it'll be a good or hearty meal. But because it will stop our other food sources being destroyed and perverted.

This song, 'Save the Rich' perfectly summarises the issue in a wonderful #song

Garfunkel and Oates perform their song, #SaveTheRich, with the legendary and amazing Weird Al #Yankovic at The Super Serious Show in Los Angeles

My Opinion:
Loyalty to your employer should always be highly conditional. They need to, first, show more loyalty than just hiring you over the long term, while providing appropriate pay and benefits.
