The Dulles, VA Wegmans used to have a lot of AOL themed food specials. Afterall, AOL's former HQ is right across the road. After the last major round of layoffs, all the food specials disappeared from the store.
I thought it was the round of layoffs that had the specials pulled from in store advertisements. However, after receiving an email from a recruiter (text after the jump with recruiter and company name redacted) much less the gas to get out to the hinterlands of Loudoun county. I think Wegmans pulled the specials because nobody left at AOL can afford to eat there!
For everything they are asking in the job description, the pay is pitiful. Even marking up the hourly rate 40-50% for agency margin shows that AOL is no longer serious as a content play and is biding their time with warm bodies that can be tossed overboard without a severance package when their Time Warner masters finally figure out a way to spin them off and close that chapter in their corporate history.
