Ex-staffers at CNN+, who were fired last month after the month-old streaming service was abruptly shut down, got gift boxes the following week that were filled with CNN+ swag, according to a report.
CNN’s new parent company Warner Bros. Discovery delivered a “gut punch” to the laid-off employees as it “mistakenly” mailed out the gifts to employees who had been fired a week earlier, according to the Wall Street Journal.
The boxes included branded gear from pens to food containers, as well as items such as a popcorn maker and headphones, the publication reported, adding that some of the boxes included welcome notes.
“This is an incredible time to be part of CNN,” one note said. “Build relationships and take time to connect with colleagues and learn so that you make the most of your time here.”

Write if you get work, losers.
"Hello, you must be going."
Similar experience for me but I was fortunate enough to end up with Bose headphones (adorned with the company logo) and metal straws (haha).
“This is an incredible time to be part of CNN,” one note said. “Build relationships and take time to connect with colleagues and learn so that you make the most of your time here.”
Liberals are born without any sense of timing nor sensitivity/compassion, and they get worse as they get older!
The article does say CNN+ = so I’m guessing it’s promotional material they have to get rid of.
Cool. They can wear it when they are learning to code.
The left hand & the right hand never do anything together.
I guess it was cheaper to mail it than pay the dump fees.
You’re going to see a lot of Chris Wallace bobble-head dolls on E-bay soon.
I remember pictures of little kids in Africa wearing t-shirts that said, “Buffalo Bills, Super Bowl Champions” after each of the 4 Super Bowls that the Bills lost. This is the 21st century equivalent.
Thats the only thing that CNN+ is capable of streaming.
Did goodbye box contain safe smoking crack pipe?
Lololololol…
I hope it was canned spam for the canned. Hahahaha!
When the company I worked for went public the really cheaped out on anniversary awards. A generic plaque at 5 years and every 5 after that a magnetic plate with the new number of years. When I hit 15 a honcho from headquarters was in attendance. You got your “award” and could say a few words. I said “Nothing says thank you for 30,000 hours of your life like a refrigerator magnet.” It was a miracle I made it to 25 years.
Worked for an insurance company and a buddy of mine was put on a project where they were putting in 20-30 hours per week OT. At the the project appreciation party they gave everybody a $5 gift card to the company cafeteria. Later on that day, there were gift cards all over the floor in garbage cans people were so po’d.
My wife worked for a school system and one year for appreciation, they had an admin cut scrap paper in quarters and staple them and hand them out as notepads. I thought my wife was going to stroke out.
The hand made note pads sounds very Zimbabwe.
