Is a quick way to a bad ending...
A union that represents CBS News journalists told staffers they won’t be punished if they ignore a memo from their new boss Bari Weiss that has asked for details on their work duties, The Post has learned.
CBS “informed us that you will not be disciplined if you do not respond to the email, indicating that a response is optional,” Writers Guild of America East told employees in a message obtained by The Post.
Any replies also will not be used against workers as “a basis for discipline, discharge or layoff,” according to the message.
There is no way this ends well for CBS and Weiss...
If senior management won’t back her, she’s toast. Any orders, etc. that she originates will be ignored by the employees that don’t ‘like’ them. And that will end up further dividing an already divided news room that Weiss was supposed to be ‘fixing’.
I’ll bet Weiss is gone in less than a year, probably within six months...
And CBS will spiral further down the rathole of bias and irrationality in their coverage.
Sigh...


well, if CBS can't learn, and grow, it's dead. I can't say I'll miss it.
Let's see. Who signs the paychecks, CBS or the union?
But yes, if Weiss isn't backed on this, it says she's there solely as a figurehead and/or token.
