Les Moonves' interim replacement fails to mention sexual misconduct in his first email to CBS staffers
-
Interim CEO Joe Ianniello sent a company-wide email with the subject "Looking forward" to CBS staffers on Monday. “I have been with this Company for 21 years, and I look forward to providing continuity and stability, while at the same time fostering our culture of innovation,” Ianniello wrote in his email. Ianniello only hinted of the sexual misconduct controversy toward the end of the email. “Of course, also at the core of any company is its culture," he wrote. And never has it been more important for us to make it abundantly clear that CBS has a steadfast commitment to diversity, inclusion and a safe and positive working environment. This is an integral part of our growth plan as together we unlock the immense talents across our entire employee base.” One CBS employee told The Huffington Post the email was "laughable" and "horribly flat."
