(POLITICO) — 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.
“Morale at the CNN Washington Bureau is about as strong as it is inside the Redskins’ locker room — and the management is just as bad,” another CNN staffer said.
