WINNING THE WAR ON WAGES:
Rise of the robots at AOL lead to job cuts (Kaja Whitehouse, 1/30/15, USAToday)
Media company AOL laid off roughly 150 employees Friday, or 3% of its staff.The bulk of the layoffs, or close to 100, were in sales, a result of the company's surging growth in so-called programmatic ad sales, according to a person with direct knowledge of the situation who was not authorized to speak on the record.The remaining cuts will come from AOL's corporate offices, including legal and HR, as well as from a planned consolidation of certain media sites, this person said.
