AOL: More Layoffs Inevitable
Monday, July 13th, 2009
Next week, CEO Tim Armstrong will announce plans for the company to focus on four businesses — content publishing, ad network, local, and communications.

According to an article in Silicon Alley Insider, AOL probably needs about 5,000 instead of 7,000 employees.

It might be finite, but that argument could be made for all technology companies. This industry moves so fast that the cutting edge is old news every six months. Not only that, a huge portion of the population in the Midwest is still on dial up.

They sold the call center about 2 years back if I am not wrong.

Wow, that must be the entire Indian call center

I was wondering about NetZero the other day, they had a commercial on TV and I was shocked that anyone still aggressively sells dialup access. I mean to say, they have to know their position in the industry is finite?

7000 seems like a bunch of people to me, especially for a company that does not do any manufacturing/retail.

Companies across the board are cutting back on everything, bonus programs should be the first thing to go in this economy. I mean, if you are working at a company that you are not willing to put 100% in all the time, regardless of the bonus prospects, what are you doing at that company? Bonuses should not be expected, otherwise they would be included in salary.

Only 7,000 employees! Damn, thats not exactly what you would call a large global company. I’m sure I have worked for companies that have more than that in their main office. I guess AOL were never as big as you’d think a coaster company should be then.
Also 1-10, well if that was a killer disease wouldn’t it called a slate wiper, a total harbinger of death and doom?

A lot of great start-ups got their break when they had the opportunity to hire world class staff onto thier team.

Are they incompetent before working there or does the place breed it?
