If AOL/HuffPo had any brain cells, they’d cut the worthless, ignorant Millennial-esque punks masquerading as “journalists” who couldn’t find a real job anywhere else beforehand

After this, it’s going to be darn near impossible to even get into the building at a GA (Gloaters Anonymous) meeting - it’s already standing room only.

“The best way for us to grow is to move in front of change rather than be moved by change,” he wrote.

Corporate drone platitudes constantly change save that they are pretty much universally spouted by folks that aren't that bright.

But I still miss stuff like "holistic synergies of emergent diversity"> That's some truly meaningless goop there.

Well Verizon is the parent company of AOL and they cut 500 jobs from AOL but they also cut 1500 IT jobs from Verizon today, me being one of them after 20 yrs of service.

AOL has 10,000 employees? No wonder they are in the red.

AOL is still functioning?

Really not worth boycotting a terminal corporation.

Sorry to hear this.

I hope you had some early warnings and a good separation package.

Where you replaced by a green card IT?
