Covid, Stankey, and Zaslav killed this media company
Benefits, salary, people (The ones that get their job done)
The CEO and CFO continually emphasize that employees are the company’s greatest asset, yet they are implementing a four-year layoff strategy, shifting jobs from the U.S. and EMEA to Mexico and India.
Poorly conceived pet projects have been approved, resulting in wasted resources. Employees have no dedicated workspace, forced into daily hot desking.
Meanwhile, all staff receive a fixed 3.5% raise, while the CEO takes a 4% increase. Promotions are nonexistent, with HR instead promoting "lateral movement" as the only option for career growth.
To the board: Appoint DZ as Chairman only and hire a CEO with experience in movies and a variety of TV formats—not just reality and sports.
