AOL to layoff 2000 employees, starting tomorrow
About a year ago AOL announced plans to dramatically change its model. For more than a decade, this blog's parent company was best known for sending you CDs/coasters in the mail promising hundreds of hours of free internet service. But in the last year the company has been transitioning to a content/advertising service rather than an ISP.
As part of that change, it looks like AOL plans to layoff about 2,000 employees, or one fifth of its workforce. There's no word on exactly what departments will be hardest hit or what, if any impact this will have on AOL services. While we're owned by AOL, we don't know any more about the upcoming layoffs than you do.
We can tell you that Download Squad won't be affected. We'd like to think that's because Download Squad and the other Weblogs Inc web sites are the new face of AOL. But it also probably has something to do with the fact that most bloggers are contract workers, not full time employees.
