I found this which explains it nicely:

It was turmoil inside CBS News all day Monday as stunned executives and journalists at one of the leading news brands in the world grappled with questions swirling about their own organization with no answers:

Will “60 Minutes” correspondent Scott Pelley be fired?

If he’s fired, will others at “60 Minutes” quit?

Will new “60 Minutes” executive producer Nick Bilton stay?

And what on earth was CBS News chief Bari Weiss attempting to accomplish with these mass firings at “60 Minutes” – if she’s not aiming to simply destroy the show?

“Shell shocked. Gobsmacked,” were the reactions noted inside the 57th Street CBS News building, according to a news insider. “People were frightened.”

The explosive exchange between Pelley and Bilton was simply not the kind of interaction that anyone has seen at CBS News, a network focused on world leaders, war and revolution, social issues, politics and corruption. It is emphatically not a place where colleagues attack one another in the open.

According to a leaked recording, things quickly came to a head between Pelley and the new “60 Minutes” executive producer Nick Bilton in a group meeting Monday morning. During the meeting, Pelley said of Weiss, who appointed Bilton, “She’s murdering ‘60 Minutes.’ She does not love this place. She was brought in to kill it and is doing exactly that.”

The comments underscore the level of frustration not just from Pelley, but a wider CBS News staff bombarded with multiple rounds of layoffs, shake-ups and tension-filled confrontations over the last eight months. The result has been nothing but skepticism and distrust over Weiss, leading to Monday’s outburst.

But did Pelley go too far?

“What he did today was a firing offense,” said one senior individual on Monday evening.

Bilton walked out of the meeting after assuring Pelley, “I have no problem taking a job in a place that I am not welcome in.”

The new executive producer then addressed the “60 Minutes” correspondent directly, telling him before exiting the meeting, “Scott, I’m not intimidated by you. I look forward to talking to you in a one-on-one setting as these meetings are scheduled. And enjoy the bagels.”

Weiss herself was planning to attend the meeting, and was warned of an impending clash with staff, so she stayed away, insiders told me.

If Pelley is fired, one said, others will almost certainly quit. That is, even though his outburst was “an unthinkable act of treason.”

If Bilton stays, as he presumably will, the organization will try to muddle its way forward, damaged and listing and leaking to the gossip columns. Meanwhile, no answers were forthcoming about why Weiss was so determined to burn “60 Minutes” down.

“I’ve been racking my brain,” said one executive, ignoring the argument that Weiss was trying to curry favor with the Trump administration.

A parallel narrative among non-CBS broadcast and other journalists burned across texts and phone message lines all day.

Hiring Bilton was “a preposterous decision to decapitate the proven leadership of the No. 1 show and replace it with a dilettante with no TV or leadership experience and a bunch of mumbo jumbo ideas about being disruptive,” said one former broadcast network chief, speaking on condition of anonymity. “It’s arrogant, stupid and they will fail.”

Who is Scott Pelley? LOL 60 minutes is a pretty liberaly biased "news" show. Maybe Weis will fire the whole lot of them and start over from scratch

Word is he got into a heated exchange with Uber Zionist Bari Weiss.

Too much drama, too heavily reported compared to vital issues the media IGNORES. Just saying! Good OP and comments.
