CANCEL CHRIS MCCARTHY

Chris McCarthy and his team of senior executives have created a hostile
workplace at Paramount Global and it has to stop!

Under McCarthy’s leadership, Paramount has devolved into a culture of fear,
toxicity, chaos, gaslighting, wasteful spending, dysfunction, nepotism, and
racism.

In partnership with Nina Diaz and Amy Campbell, they have laid waste to a once
vibrant culture and destroyed everything and everyone in their wake, including
employee mental health and well-being.

Together with Justin Russel, Francesca Batista, Timothy Livezey, Sharyn
Flanagan, Robert Postotnik and more, the MTV Entertainment Studios team has
subject employees to consistent and pervasive mental abuse. These abuses have
gone largely unchecked and covered up by Paramount HR and Legal, but it’s time
to expose McCarthy and his team for bad behavior.

Please share your thoughts and stories anonymously. This is a safe space.

Thank you.

Is it unusual that ALL posts about Chief Creative Officer, Nina Diaz have been
deleted?

And is it even MORE unusual that Diaz’s sister, Elena Diaz, works on her team?

This is yet another conflict of interest for Chris McCarthy and the MTV
Entertainment Studios team!

For anyone who has any questions, this thread absolutely has validity. Don’t
listen to those who are trying to derail this conversation.

As a refresher:

Chris McCarthy, Nina Diaz, Amy Campbell and many others have created an
organization based on nepotism, nefarious business practices and bullying. Their
minions have taken their ways of working onwards and are spreading them through
the organization. Some
comments are being deleted from this thread but don’t let that stop you posting
your stories of how those involved have helped create this poisonous regime. We
will keep collecting screenshots.

Press organizations are taking notice.

Don’t be silenced.

When a few people speak negatively about a workplace or its leadership, it can
sometimes be dismissed as disgruntled employees venting frustration, possibly
over losing their jobs. But when a large number of people from different
departments share the same negative experiences, it's a clear sign that
something deeper and more harmful is at play.

I've been with this company for almost a decade, and I've seen firsthand the
dedication and hard work of so many people, as well as the strong support
they’ve shown one another. What has unfolded in the past few months has been
shocking. Years of effort and progress were undone in a matter of months by the
very team everyone is concerned about. The toxic environment had always been
there to some extent, but ever since this toxic team took control of other
departments, it’s only spread further. Of the three new CEOs, one stood out the
most—not in a positive way, but very negatively, as they allowed this toxicity
to flourish unchecked.

I'm surprised no one's talking about #22 in Kevin Jordan's lawsuit because it
was the epitome of employment discrimination:

"22. In or about July 2017, Ms. Parkes appointed a white woman Sarah DeFilipis
to lead the digital/social department of the three networks, over a senior, more
qualified and experienced African American man."

The "African American man" must refer to Orlando Lima who was forced out of the
company shortly thereafter. Lima was a VP at VH1 prior to CMC. He'd put together
an efficient social/digital department that made profitable content. He had a
diverse team and promoted multiple (African American) women to Director.

When VH1 and Logo were combined, Jacqueline Parkes demoted Lima without cause.
She handed the department over to DeFilipis and made her Lima's boss, even
though DeFilipis had no creative experience, and less management experience and
seniority than Lima.

DeFilipis was grossly unqualified for the position. Her incompetence with
creative, budgets and management ended up tanking the department. Most of the
African American employees Lima had hired ended up getting laid off or forced
out because DeFilipis targeted them. It was common knowledge that DeFilipis and
Parkes didn't like working with African American women. They intentionally
demeaned them and attempted to make them quit so the company wouldn't have to
pay severance.

Before CMC, there were several African American VPs at VH1 but they were all
terminated for "budget cuts" or "expired contracts." Lima was the last African
American VP to survive and he too was wrongfully sacked. Once he left, almost
all the VPs (and up) that reported into CMC were white. How do you explain that
when VH1's shows were targeted at African Americans?

Responding to the comment below...

Employees ARE talking and going on record through the various avenues mentioned,
however, this forum is anonymous by design. And in just four days, it's sparked
conversation at over 18,000 views and getting widespread attention. It's a
start, not a resolution.

But yes, I agree that there has to be follow through. The hostile workplace
created by Chris McCarthy and his MTV Entertainment Studios team will NOT get
fixed here. There has to be further action.

To those with real gripes, I feel you. To everyone else, I don’t remember the
case where any real change was made based off lots of anonymous claims on a
layoff board. The whole metoo movement had people putting their names to things.
Please do reach out to any reporters mentioned, but unless your leads go
somewhere and you can recommend other witnesses to back your claims, this ain’t
going anywhere. CM team is leaving in a few months so what does it matter? No
one is going to hire them and they know it. Look at Dan Schneider. He hasn’t
gone anywhere and the doc on him came after a few years of unemployment already
for him (not that he needs extra cash). It’s like saying let’s get the captain
of the titanic while the ship is sinking. What’s the point? We’re all sc--wed
except he has a lifeboat this time.

Below is another excerpt from JORDAN V VIACOM.

If you are a person of color and believe you have been discriminated against
within Paramount and/or on Amy Campbell’s MTV Entertainment Studio marketing
team, please speak out.

—

31. On or about December 12, 2017, just a few weeks after Ms. Parkes told Mr.
Jordan he had done a good job and just days after the
higher-than-anticipated response to ANTM and the record-breaking premiere
of Black Ink Crew New York, Mr. Jordan met with Ms. Parkes for a
performance review. Less than a month after Ms. Parkes had praised his
work, Ms. Parkes now told him he was no longer worth the money was being
paid.

32. On February 6, 2018, Mr. Jordan was called into a meeting with Ms. Parkes.
Ms. Parkes informed him that his position was being eliminated due to a
“re-org.” No other explanation was given. Two of the four people fired from
the creative and production department in the “re-org” were the only senior
African American employees left in the department.

33. Within days of the termination of Mr. Jordan’s employment, Justin Russell,
the white VP Creative Director of the struggling MTV, was promoted to
Senior Vice President. He and his white supervisor, Thomas Berger, also at
MTV, took over running the Creative Departments of all three channels.

I’m saddened to see this devolving into name calling because so much of what has
been shared here are genuinely traumatic and honest accounts of the current
company culture. I am a 20+ year employee who has been through many leadership
changes and have never seen anything like what I’ve experienced in the last
year. The individuals working under Chris M. operate with zero integrity or
professionalism and are not qualified for the roles they occupy. Worse than
that, as “I used to like my job” highlighted, they won’t allow the people who
are experts in their respective fields to do their jobs. People have spent their
whole career acquiring the skills and knowledge to be effective and we are being
abused and dismissed in favor of staff who lack a basic understanding of the
business of a streaming org.
It’s also worth noting that, in addition to CM manipulating research and numbers
to a degree that surely qualifies as falsifying data, he presented a Showtime
sizzle reel at a recent town hall complete with work that was not Paramount
produced throughout. It was scrubbed from the link sent around following the
meeting, but content from competitors in the marketplace was prominent
throughout. Mortifying to the legacy Showtime team that had nothing to do with
the creation of that reel despite being intimately familiar with those titles
and the brand.

@The Strategist. Maybe, but that doesn’t detract from the claims of abuse,
cronyism, unprofessionalism, and taking credit for things that you had nothing
to do with. Also, their behavior pre-dates any sell…so it’s not totally
relevant.

I'm a former Asian contract employee and worked ViacomCBS (Paramount) from 2019
– 2021.

I worked on Amy Campbell's catastrophic AAPI Month campaign and it was the most
traumatic experience of my professional career. Many AAPI team members were
reduced to tears because of her and Justin Russell's white Creative Director who
shut down our ideas. He was later removed from the project and the AAPI team
members were forced to continue on the project and finish the work. This was a
very hard time for all of us.

To one of the earlier commenters, this is not some "Gen Z bandwagon". Why are
you discounting real stories about racism, one of which was proven with court
documents in an earlier post?

There are all kinds of great examples from the past on why this is a news story.
The current news-worthy story is this:

Four years ago the Streaming organization was set up, building on CBS
All-Access, launching Paramount+ and continuing the great work on Pluto TV and
Showtime. In that time there have been multiple rounds of changes including
Paramount+ and Showtime being merged.

This organization was always intended to be a loss-leader, but surprised
everyone by achieving profitability way before it was meant to, with $470M of
profits last quarter.

The streaming marketing teams and creative teams have seen their work lauded
with awards.

The investment has proven to be worth it.

However the 3 CEOs don’t represent the streaming parts of the organization.
These CEOs have chosen to downsize the organization before the new owners come
in. (It feels weird this is needed when a billionaire is selling to another
billionaire but ok, sure.) And they’re choosing to gut the very part of the
organization that had proven to be succeeding.

And, it’s the way that they’re going about it which is unfair. They’re choosing
their own people to run things. People who aren’t specialists in their roles.
People who don’t have much experience doing the scope of the work. The streaming
team was put together to do the work which is demanded by the pressures of
modern business, and they’re excelling at it, but these experts are being forced
out. The ones highlighted in this post are being elevated when they don’t
deserve it.

Currently we are seeing folk being asked to work on projects who haven’t even
watched a second of the shows in question, replacing those who have been deeply
embedded with the shows for many years. Press, marketing and strategy employees
who have built up years of relationships with producers being replaced by
friends of executives who don’t understand the history. Teams who don’t
understand the needs of marketing the shows being asked to replace experts who
do.

Coupled with the poisonous nature of some of the executives in charge and the
other news stories on this thread, you can see why the wrong people are being
put into power.

And there is no one fighting for the successful teams - there is no one
representing Streaming.

This is a wrong that needs to be righted before paramount loses the talent to do
the work needed to survive. If not, Sky Dance will have bought a much poorer
organization that the one it initially invested in.

I’d like to provide guidance to employees who want to speak to the media from
someone who has done it herself. So far, I have talked to one outlet regarding
all the said abuses and misconduct under Chris McCarthy’s leadership,
specifically with Amy Campbell’s MTV team.

I did this before journalists like The New York Times and The Hollywood Reporter
showed interest. What I did first was Google search for investigative
journalists in entertainment from the main trades (THR, Deadline, Variety,
etc.). Google provided results and I went to those various trade websites, which
mostly all have journalist bios, alongside their X handle and emails.

Then I reached out to one journalist anonymously on a burner email account and
shared some details of what is happening. In that email, I told them I want to
be on background and have my name and job title anonymous. They of course agreed
and we set up a phone call.

This story WILL die if people don’t come forward and talk to the media! It can’t
just be one person. The idea that a publication is going to publish your name
and job title and 'out' you is unheard of and would NEVER happen. Whistleblowers
are LEGALY PROTECTED. We all have a responsibility to talk at this point. It’s
now or never!

People stop saying he greenlit Yellowstone. No he did not. He was not in charge
of paramount network at the time. All he greenlit was, you guessed it, the
sequels.

Look how far back it goes, the toxic culture on top of the complete non
creativity. This is not new. He just has more and louder and more powerful

Below is an excerpt from JORDAN V VIACOM.

It details how Chris McCarthy and Amy Campbell inserted white leadership above
Jordan who had no demonstrated knowledge of African American audiences and Vh1
content. Under McCarthy and Campbell, Jordan was soon forced to take creative
feedback from the white executives.

This is a systemic issue with McCarthy and Campbell. They regularly subject
marketing employees to gaslighting and sabotage masked as ‘feedback’ from
executives and team members with no understanding of specific shows and
audiences, even those shows which cater to minority groups.

—

19. “In or about October 2016, Mr. McCarthy was promoted to President of VH1,
MTV. In or about January 2017, Jane Olson, a white woman, who by her own
admission did not watch VH1 programs and was unfamiliar with the
programming culture and audience, was hired by Viacom as Senior Vice
President of VH1 and Logo and inserted above Mr. Jordan in the management
hierarchy. Although Mr. McCarthy told Mr. Jordan that Ms. Olson was hired
to help him manage business issues not to make creative decisions, Mr.
Jordan soon found himself answering to Ms. Olson on creative decisions.”

20. “In or about late January 2017 another white woman, Jacqueline Parkes, who
had been hired as CMO of MTV in 2016 and who also had no knowledge or
understanding of VH1’s programs or its audience, was named the Chief
Marketing Officer of VH1, Logo and MTV. Mr. Jordan began reporting to Ms.
Olson who reported to Ms. Parkes, another layer of white management over
him and the VH1 brand.”

21. On or about May 31, 2017, the only African American woman among the
writer/producers on Mr. Jordan’s team was fired with no input from him or
any notice to him.”

Below is just one excerpt takes from JORDAN V VIACOM.

It details how Chris McCarthy and Amy Campbell placed white leaders above Jordan
who had no familiarity with Vh1 programming or audiences. Jordan soon had to
answer to them creatively.

This is a systemic issue under Chris and Amy. It's 'creative by committee' and
marketing employees are regularly subject to feedback from team members with
little to no understanding of shows or specific audiences.

DOES THAT RING A BELL, EMPLOYEES?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"In or about October 2016, Mr. McCarthy was promoted to President of VH1,
MTV. In or about January 2017, Jane Olson, a white woman, who by her own
admission did not watch VH1 programs and was unfamiliar with the programming
culture and audience, was hired by Viacom as Senior Vice President of VH1 and
Logo and inserted above Mr. Jordan in the management hierarchy. Although Mr.
McCarthy told Mr. Jordan that Ms. Olson was hired to help him manage business
issues not to make creative decisions, Mr. Jordan soon found himself answering
to Ms. Olson on creative decisions."

It's comical how the Paramount opposition has resorted to taunting and can't
muster up a plausible defense against the said abuses on this thread.

Read it and weep, Liza. 😭

The post below is an intimidation tactic to silence employees. Don't be fooled,
folks.

"This document is a complaint filed in federal court by Kevin Jordan against
Viacom International Inc. Jordan, a highly skilled African American advertising
executive, alleges he was discriminated against and subjected to a hostile work
environment on the basis of his race while employed at Viacom. Jordan claims he
was very successful in his role at VH1 but faced barriers from white employees
placed above him who did not understand the network's audience. After
complaining about race discrimination, Jordan claims Viacom retaliated against
him and ultimately terminated his employment. Jordan is suing Viacom for
violations of federal and state anti-discrimination laws."

SOMEONE ANSWERING: Hi, Liza 👋 Don't worry, I'm on my way out. I just want to be
vocal about the toxic workplace before I exit.

Did you do that when you left The Weinstein Company? Please advise.

It’s horrifying to think that a CEO has unleashed trolls upon this thread to
attack employees with disparaging remarks and intimidation. Make no mistake,
this is the handiwork of Chris McCarthy himself.

Sorry to disappoint you, Liza, but it's not working. 😂

Why did you leave or why were you asked to leave Netflix or Nbcu or Amazon or
Fox or Hulu or Disney or news12 or Facebook or Publix or whatever that makes
whatever you’re ‘experiencing now’ worth it? Genuinely want to know. If you’re
so talented, why stick with a company that is just ‘so horrible’ why not leave?
You don’t have to stay. Please, go, everyone deserves happiness.

We all need the call out the insanity of these counter posts. Some horrible
people with horrible messaging are trying to bury the good people here. The real
workers who deserve better. Trust this post and the positive green +s. Don’t let
them bury us.
