Here's The Story Of How AOL Fired 350 Patch Employees Today

APAOL began firing about 350 Patch workers today. That's about 40% of all Patch employees.

According to a source, here's how the firings went down:

AOL held simultaneous meetings in two different rooms. One room was full of Patch employees who were about to be fired and the other was full of employees who got to keep their jobs.

Remote workers dialed into the meetings. Presumably, those who were about to be fired got a dial-in number to the room with the other doomed employees.
