MUMBAI: Time Warner Inc. is planning to
cut about 1,300 jobs at its AOL internet
unit. This is in line with the company's
plans to reduce costs by $1 billion.
AOL will close its call centre in Florida
and will eliminate jobs in its other call
centres located in Ogden, Utah and Tucson.
It will be cutting 780 jobs in Jacksonville.
The Tucson call center will eliminate 300
jobs and Ogden will cut down 125.
Two years ago, Time Warner CEO Richard Parsons
had decided to cut costs of the organisation.
Accordingly, AOL cut its workforce by 700
people in the fourth quarter. It also eliminated
400 jobs in other divisions, including its
publishing outfit.
