Look what all y'all [spoiler3e463e95ed]c-worders[/spoiler3e463e95ed] done gone an' did.

[quote3e463e95ed="LA Times"]AOL is laying off about 1,300 employees -- about 7 percent of its worldwide work force -- and is closing its call center in Jacksonville, Florida.[/quote3e463e95ed]

I have a feeling that call center is the one so many of us have dealt with...

Kept them busy canceling revenue streams...



Don't take it too seriously though. I just thought it was worth noting that AOL is having problems. I've always hated them; I think they prey on a certain segment of the population, whose confusion about what exactly the Internet is leads them to pay for AOL's sub-par services.

lol me too =P and mailing efeds =X

I hate how AOL is so stupidly persistent with their pleas. The guy was like "I'm not asking you to do anything I'm not forcing you to do this I'm just asking you to blah blah blah"

Yeah, caught yourself at your own lies... I had to restrain myself from yelling at the rep >>

Since when are call centers in the US? I thought they were all in India/Pakistan.

See how many less people they need when they actually cancel accounts when you ask them too.
