AOHell, 2,000 jobs scorched
Posted by Fired Fred on October 15, 2007 5:01 PM
"We have a bright future as a company if we can execute on this vision." - AOL's Randy Falco wrapped up his fourteen paragraph corp-speak spin with this gem. Executing on the vision means real executions, all right. French Revolution style to the tune of 2,000 jobs, sez Valleywag.
Sharpen the guillotine and call the headsman, Marie, and let them all eat cake first.
Even better, another Valleywag piece sayeth the former AOL HR chief, Lance Miyamoto, quit in protest of these upcoming job cuts a week ago.
That would be a pretty cool and even noble thing, but Valleywag's vicious commenters have been chopping the Lance as noble story into sashimi...
give me a break. he never left the 5th floor and never had any impact on the company.That's some quality off the hook bitterness.
if he quit in protest, it was only protesting the fact that the layoffs caused a bunch of inconvenient actual work.
Who put the HR stamp of approval on compensation and benefits for top execs who were rewarded large bonuses despite their arrogance and inability to run the company like a real business.
