American Online Tries a Jarring HR Play
November 20, 2009
I try not to think much about America Online, aka AOL. I have not been thrilled with the company’s use of the Relegence.com technology, which I quite like. I heard that at one time AOL used the Fast Search & Transfer SA system, so I did not need to waddle my goose tail down that well worn path. I am really tired of Fast ESP and I think that unless I missed something, the Fast ESP technology was not the main event at the Microsoft developers’ conference or at the Microsoft shareholders meeting. If I overlooked an announcement, please, send me the links. What blipped my radar this afternoon at the BWI airport was this story: “We Need to Fire 2,500 Volunteers”. My goodness. Airplanes cannot be controlled. There’s crazy talk about President Obama from a taxi driver who earned $11 in seven hours on the job. The dollar is not exactly the currency of choice in some * big * countries. Against these warps, the woof from AOL that the company wants volunteers to be terminated. The notion is disturbing. Just call it straight:

I want to report to the National Park Service that AOL did not pay me to write this opinion. In fact, a confused antelope would not have have paid me any attention for this story.
