Guys, there are worse places to work with no benefits, therefore anything that AOL does is morally A-OK so long as they're higher than the ridiculously low bar of current employment standards.

And hey, this is a for profit company, therefore they have no moral obligation to do anything other than make a profit. In fact they should refuse all healthcare obligations, remove pensions and outsource all their employees to gain more profits. There's absolutely no societal obligation toward a populace on a corporation's behalf. The company just pulled themselves up by their bootstraps and didn't benefit from society to get where they are today at all.

Eh, that's a murky sarcastic point you're making. It's about a contract/compensation in the end. Benefits that were in place, are now removed but the work expected from individuals is the same, that upsets people and the contractual balance, whereas if they gave raises to everyone for the same amount of work, all workers are happy! It's morally (to me) arbitrary. 'good change' is morally acceptable 'bad change' is not. How sad.
