Verizon cuts 10,000 jobs and admits its Yahoo/AOL division is a failure
-
Verizon's Oath division failing in ad market, and it could get even worse.
Verizon is parting ways with 10,400 employees in "a voluntary separation program," despite the Trump administration providing a tax cut and various deregulatory changes that were supposed to increase investment in jobs and broadband networks. The cuts represent nearly seven percent of Verizon's workforce and were announced along with a $4.6 billion charge related to struggles in Verizon's Yahoo/AOL business division.

Hasn't AOL been a failure since dial-up internet was dead? like mid-1990s?
