Toxic allegations hit the New Jersey Cable/ Streaming news outlet.
Mass resignations have rocked the editorial staff at News 12 New Jersey. According to three sources close to the situation, who spoke under conditions of anonymity in part because they fear retribution from Altice, the cable news channel’s owner, recent and pending departures of News 12 New Jersey’s news director, assistant news director, two executive producers and a senior producer came down to charges of a toxic work environment cultivated by upper management for the past two years.
Leadership has been insincere, dishonest and condescending toward staffers, sources tell TVNewsCheck. They exhibited a lack of compassion when workers communicated personal and professional needs during the global pandemic and in individually challenging moments. And micromanaging has rendered employees uninspired, disillusioned and afraid to make independent decisions.
