A tough, new boss at CBS News is slashing costs in a bid to revamp the struggling network — and he’s also provoking complaints from employees, with some grumbling that he is “rude” and “micromanaging.”
“I don’t think people would be surprised if he’s not here in a couple months,” some staffers said of boss Neeraj KhemlaniBehind the scenes, ticked-off employees grumble that Khemlani cultivates a “Shark Tank”-like investor’s persona that’s focused on “poking holes” in business plans and demanding to know the “return on investment” for new projects.
CBS CEO George Cheeks brought in Neeraj Khemlani and Wendy McMahon to reorganize the company as it reorients to a digital and streaming future.“They probably need to hit targets post-merger,” said a CBS insider. “But the bigger question is: What is their long-term strategy if there isn’t an investment in news?”which includes Paramount+, the company’s subscription service
A rep from CBS News added: “You’ll be seeing several new hire announcements in the coming weeks that will build on this momentum. Part of any successful transformation is change, and that involves deploying resources in different ways. Make no mistake, this is not about cutting; it’s about building and positioning CBS News and its prestigious brand to compete and succeed in a broadcast and streaming world.
