Hurting in ratings, CNN is now pushing for ‘voluntary layoffs’.
CNN says roughly 100 employees have accepted voluntary buyouts a month after an overhaul by parent company AT&T.
Brian Stelter, also confirmed the rumor, trying to spin it as “hundreds of staffers leaving CNN, as voluntary buyouts.”
In a tweet, Brian Stelter said:

Although it might be semantics, the technique is old and valuable.
It offers a company the opportunity to get rid of old dead wood and drunks in an amicable fashion. I would think AT&T has used the procedure lots of times
A couple of years ago there were rumblings/grumblings from the stockholders.
A distinction without a difference.
No layoffs, fine. But was there spying?
