CNN's Washington bureau is suffering from low morale and high anxiety in the wake of weeks of layoffs and buyouts with one employee likening the place to the Redskins locker room.
In conversations with POLITICO, sources at the bureau spoke of tension in the office as several longtime staffers have been let go while others are being promoted and given raises. On Friday, during the most recent departures, "people were crying all over the bureau," one D.C. employee said.

Don't worry CNN, tomorrow is another day.
"Things have been horrible inside the Washington bureau," another staffer said. "On Friday, which was everyone's last day, people were crying all over the bureau, but managers hid in offices and didn't go to any of the goodbye office parties."
"Many employees who are left are terrified of being let go," the staffer said. "The management in the bureau is forcing most remaining producers to sign contracts, because they are worried even more people are going to leave the company, and the bureau can't run with fewer people than are staffed now. So as a huge group has been let go, [others] are getting promotions and huge raises, which has made the last month horrible between the haves and have nots."

If they were more even-handed they would have a bigger audience. They are leftists, they would rather go out of business than be fair.

Sure sounds like crony capitalism to me!

Those employees that remain should be thankful they have a job at all. If it wasn't for talk radio sending viewers there every day they'd have no viewers whatsoever.
Well, I guess there will always be airport terminals and nursing homes.

Funny how that works isn’t it? They don’t need certain people, so they fire them, then give raises to people they retain. It’s just so UNFAIR! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Say, CNN employees, since you know your days are limited anyway, why don't you pipe up during a production meeting and suggest CNN start covering Conservatives and conservatism a little more objectively.
Just an idea. I know the saying is free advice is worth what you pay for it but, in this case, what do you have to lose? Besides your job, I mean. But, like I said, it's just a matter of time anyway.
To: Darth Reardon
I noticed that. HR needs to send someone to sensitivity training.

It must be a real p!$$er when you consistently stick your fingers into the eyes of American viewers and your ratings tank more aggressively than Ted Kennedy on a bender.

They will now experience the joy of joining the other 92 million Americans in the labor force who aren’t working, and having to worry about healthcare.
