America Online Inc. Tuesday began cutting 750 jobs, more than half at the firm’s Northern Virginia headquarters, according to wire service reports.
While employees in Northern Virginia accounted for most of the cuts, AOL workers in Ohio, California and New York also were affected, according to company officials. Employees across the company’s operations, from technology to marketing, were among those who lost their jobs. Jobs at AOL Europe were not affected.
AOL’s corporate parent, Time Warner Inc., announced its plans to eliminate jobs at the firm a month ago, when the company announced its third quarter financial results.
