I guess a Nexstar employee said it best in an email to FTVLive:

“While Scripps is giving out cash and days off, and Gray is giving out paid time off to new parents, Uncle Perry is handing out keychains and tumblers and paperweights!”

Yep, Nexstar is celebrating 25 years and handing out YETI tumblers, keychains, and paperweights to the staff as part of the celebration.

First off, we have to ask, in this digital age, who the hell uses a paperweight anymore?

Maybe paperweights were a thing back when Uncle Perry started Nexstar, but come on, it’s 2021.

Also, after you add up all the money spent for this swag, plus the shipping and handling costs, I think the staff might have just enjoyed a few extra bucks in their paycheck, instead of a Nexstar keychain.

BTW- This month, FTVLive is celebrating 20 years since we first launched this website. Hard to believe that we have been doing this going on two decades now.

In honor of that, FTVLive will be handing out an extra Pup-Peroni to our VP of Cuteness.

He likes those better than a paperweight.

Here is the internal memo sent to the staff at Nexstar and obtained by FTVLive:
