Or maybe (as someone has worked in a cousin of a restaurant) you can accept  your boss in a moment of big pressure, cause there are 180 persons out there, can Scream to you "come on, you have to be faster, you're too slow" instead of "sweetheart take all you time you want, we have all the time" cause it's just work. Doesn't mean he don't respect you he wants you dead cause he's severe to you in some moment. Same with teachers. Of course there are situation of abuse but now seems everything Is abuse and some people are too soft (or to full of themselves and don't accept to be criticised).

 

 

I get what you’re saying that people need to be able to roll with some punches at work and put up with certain things times their boss may act up because of stress, however when your boss and the work environment is bad enough it’s is causing multiple employees/ex-employees to have a serious decline in overall physical and mental health, that means there is a serious issue with the environment and frankly it’s a matter of when not if it would’ve eventually been exposed.  It doesn’t make people weak or over sensitive to be seriously affected by a workplace riddled with issues and toxicity.
 

Younger people nowadays just seem more willing to call out bad behavior than before, but you should definitely believe when stuff like this was being exposed less in the past, people were still silently suffering.

What I really hope is that this genre of takedown pieces ends the era of talk shows. They're all garbage, and I don't know how anyone suffers through the canned interviews and forced comedy. Podcasters are their own breed of annoying (and probably terrible behind the scenes too) but the interviews and humor from podcasts like Conan's is far superior and less cringe.

What else could one expect from Justin Timberlake's best friend?

There's always someone above. Jimmy doesn't own the show or the network, so no... he is not the 'leader' but a mere employee who also just comes in every day to do his job and leave after. 

“Mere employee” 

[Shelter]

 who is next. All the chat show hosts being exposed.

Not shocking one bit

 

He is the worst host for me

 

He literally cannot act genuine for one second, always looks faking to be interested and engaged while fake-laughing in-between in timed intervals

 

So uncomfortable    

This is it, you can tell he has ZERO interest in the person he's interviewing, unless it's a hot actress he can flirt with. It makes for the dullest interviews.

 

They should just give the show to Graham Norton tbh.

this mf is so fake i'm rooting for his downfall

[Rotunda]

Also tbh I can’t imagine being surprised that an SNL alum is creating a toxic work environment

The UK talk show hosts seem genuinely more funny to me than the American ones (besides Corden but the UK practically disowned him a long time ago lol), hopefully they are nicer too.

 

I hope an American talk show eventually steals Graham’s format of having all the guests on the couch at once, it makes for way more interesting interactions.

Please end him. I just can't stand this man at all, he's absolutely insufferable 

[glitch]

Not even remotely surprised by this

Lol it’s literally HIS show of course there are execs at NBC but did you read the article? The entire culture was contingent upon his mood and whether he was hungover or having a good/bad day… that is literally a leader.

 

people who make excuses about toxic and abusive workplaces make me LOL… just goes to show that in a capitalist society there will always be people who don’t mind being mistreated in a workplace because there will always be some sort of excuse as to why it’s ok or why it’s not the fault of the people who are in power. Meanwhile people in the article saying they had to go to therapy or lost 20 pounds due to how toxic and stressful the environment was.

You do realize these ex-employees most likely got paid for their interview right?

 

Every workplace has something to improve upon, but not because of that are we forced to stay there... 

[Bussea]

i’m…… not shocked

[HEAVYONIT]

These allegations of talk show hosts are getting tired at this point. OF COURSE you're working in a high-stress, high-stakes environment...they're the biggest talk shows on television. Every workplace environment is toxic by these standards. The belitting isn't called for, but the low morale...welcome to the high-stakes working world

The people who call themselves nice are always just convincing themselves they aren’t total messes on the inside and out!

Arguably the least funny person in entertainment.  Can't say I'm sorry to see him getting Ellened  

[Cameltoe Chariot]

The only late night hosts that have good reputations are Colbert, Kimmel and Myers 

[Blue Rose]

“former employees” 

 

[AintNoOtherMe]

I literally can’t stand him but I’m so tired of these snowflakes complaining about toxic work environment. Welcome to the adult life. Work is stressful, it hard, people working under time pressure etc. it can be stressful and people will snap at you. Working in a collective with a lot of people it’s gonna be toxic sometimes… like get a

thicker skin and learn how to deal with it. You can’t expect everybody to be kind to you and everything is butterfly and flowers…

Blackface Kimmel and good reputation in the same sentence is wild

[Hurem]

Out of all the talk show hosts, his success always made the least sense to me. He is so obviously fake and unfunny, never realized what people saw in him. The way he would ruin every single interview with his obnoxiously fake reactions, and people somehow still bought it?

Yes, I love Gen Z tbh... a lot of the sh*t that millennials and other generations were taught to just "deal with" they aren't married to those dogmas and antiquated beliefs. I see it on TikTok all the time, they call out their employers and will quit if it's a bad work environment.
