CNN Radio’s Capitol Hill correspondent Lisa Desjardins brought some humor to the mass buyouts currently underway at the 24-hour news channel and other Turner Network companies.
The reporter shot a video goodbye after accepting her buyout offer from CNN.
“It is not easy to say goodbye and unfortunately we had a lot of goodbyes here lately,” Desjardins, who has worked for the company for nine years, said on the video. “I know a lot of folks are worried about the future and I also know a lot of buyout offers are on the table.”

The video included sharing word clouds from both company e-mails and her personal e-mails regarding layoffs over the past six months, shots of her stealing office supplies and goodbye remarks to associates.
