AOL Lays off....Yup, You Guessed It!
The big news for the day...drum roll please...AOL lays off 1,400 customer service reps!  Workers in Albuquerque, NM, Tucson, AZ and some people in Ogden Utah have received pink slips. 

Well, this comes as no big surprise to me.  All big companies do it.

Let’s hope that AOL doesn’t have plans to pawn off their customer service support questions to bloggers!

Unbelievable. When will all businesses recognize that it is about the "who" not the "what"? Customers (re: customer service and customer experiences) are the best cure for increasing growth and revenues. Apparently, AOL has enough of both (NOT!).
