Former 'CBS Evening News' anchor Scott Pelley claims he lost his job because he wouldn't stop complaining to management about the hostile work environment for men and women.

Pelley, who was forced out of the position in 2017 after six years on the job, told CNN's Reliable Sources on Sunday that he had repeatedly raised complaints about the workplace culture.

'We've been through a dark period of the last several years of incompetent management and sort of a hostile work environment within the news division,' he said. 

'I lost my job at the 'Evening News' because I wouldn't stop complaining to management about the hostile work environment.'  

The '60 Minutes' correspondent said, however, that things have changed after 18 months of dramatic management changes amid a slew of scandals and misconduct claims at CBS.

Executives who have departed include Jeff Fager of '60 Minutes,' network news president David Rhodes, anchor Charlie Rose and CBS Corp. CEO Leslie Moonves, who left in September after multiple women alleged sexual misconduct.
