American Airlines Points Laid Off Employees To Monster.com

from the yeah,-that's-helpful dept

Only available in press release form at this time, but still worth commenting on. American Airlines seems to be making a big deal out of the fact that they've teamed up with Monster.com to help out all the folks they just laid off. Monster.com will now create a special section that will just include profiles of those people who no longer work for American Airlines. Sounds like a way for Monster.com to get some publicity, and for American Airlines to do absolutely nothing for those they laid off, while still sounding concerned about their plight.

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

–The Techdirt Team

    PR Stunt

    Yup, PR stunt. But hey, more than I got when my VC-backed company went belly-up. No notice, no severance, no vacation pay, nothing. While we were being notified there were workers in the process of putting new locks on the door so the liquidator could do an accurate inventory. Luckily I had taken my laptop home the day before, so I did have sort of a severance package. :-)
