CNN continues to gut itself with layoffs and show cancelations, but the company is trying to soften the blow for those bounced. 

Those that got pink slipped received a message offering “an experienced counselor” who will be on hand to offer confidential services. 

Almost 30 people alone are getting kicked to the curb at CNN's DC bureau.

More cuts are expected today.

CNN's PR people are not commenting on the cuts, because you know, the communications business.
