Be nice
It’s been well-reported that AOL made cuts today. While I wasn’t among those affected, naturally with any event this large, quite a few people I knew and worked with were amongst those impacted.
If there’s any one thing that’s been disappointing about this time around, it’s been the continual stream of nastiness by people who claim to be current or former AOL employees in public forums and online rumors sites. Isn’t it bad enough that we’re going through this — do we need to rip on each other as well? Difficult situations produce different responses from people, and I understand the desire to vent, I just wish it were less self-destructive.
And that’s all I have to say about the topic. I’ll be back to my regularly-scheduled … uhm … “posting schedule” when the grumpy wears off.
