Women.com Cuts 85 Jobs, 25 Percent of Work Force
-
Internet company Women.com Networks Inc. (WOMN) on Wednesday said it
slashed 85 jobs, or about 25 percent of its work force, in an effort
to save money and stay on track to achieve profitability. In a
statement, Women.com Chief Executive Marleen McDaniel said the San
Mateo, Calif., company needs to ``remain nimble in a fluctuating
Internet industry.''
Women.com, which provides a variety of women-focused content and
shopping services, was founded in 1992 and is one of the older
Internet companies. Although it did not have to cut jobs until now,
it currently finds itself operating in one of the toughest segments
of the Internet business. As most Internet content sites struggle to
attract advertisers, specialized sites like Women.com have been hurt
by competition from other services like iVillage Inc. (IVIL) and
Oxygen Media. On Wednesday, Oxygen Media said it plans to cut 10
percent of its staff, Reuters (courtesy Internet Daily), December 6, 2000.
