Paramount reviews

- Double Standards with the upper management. They can do no wrong, but when they actually in the wrong, everyone must turn the other cheek. If you're lower management and you make a mistake, you'll get fired. - Good luck if you're culturally different - you'll get chased out immediately - Too many people in higher management with terrible or non-existent management skills - Upper Management has little patience when tasks aren't completed per their unspoken rules - Daily finger pointing, with invalid reasoning - A lot of "fake it till you make it" personalities - Some departments are misogynistic and/or will only work Tues - Thurs (which is horrible for productivity)

My Boss at Viacom was totally unprofessional and bordered on "crazy." She enjoyed putting me down in front of extra large meetings. I asked her in private why she thinks I would like being shamed in front of new colleagues at Viacom...she said "can't you take a joke?" I have a great sense of humor and I know how to handle jokes, ribbing, etc. Her jokes were to cut you to the bone and then make everyone underneath her laugh nervously (in order to keep their jobs) and then look at you with glee. After two more time episodes of being shamed in front of larger groups of colleagues, I talked to HR. They told me she has had six nannies in three months quit at her home and she would have many more direct reports quitting too if it wasn't such a difficult job market. I asked has she ever stopped this demeaning behavior and they said "No." I found a new job and I was thrilled to leave this abusive Boss.
