Paramount kept a full staff on hand and worked everyone under stressful conditions, kept folks on-call to ensure the Superbowl could be streamed on their service, had record viewership numbers and then immediately laid off 800 of the people who gave them that success the next day so that the executive leadership could pocket all the profits without sharing it with the labor force who built it.
