AOL Layoffs

By Jim on December 8th, 2004

Can’t say I’m surprised. I hope the employees that were laid off are able to find new jobs quickly.

About 750 employees at America Online were laid off Tuesday as part of the Internet giant’s efforts to cut costs and to realign its business units, a company spokesman confirmed.

As previously reported, most of employees laid off worked out of AOL’s Dulles, Va., headquarters with most departments across the company affected. Tuesday’s cuts come one year after AOL laid off about 500 employees, mostly from the company’s California offices.

I don’t know why anybody would bother with AOL in this day and age? :roll:

It’s like a bad leftover from another time…back in the days when people needed training wheels before moving on to the real Internet. I got my mother off it a while back and she’s much happier without it.
