Sour Grapes Over AOL Buyout Deal?

I am not sure how there can be sour grapes over a $315M AOL buyout deal but, as unbelievable as it may seem, that is exactly what is happening here. You'd think they would just be happy for their colleagues and thankful they still have a job instead of bitching.

"Think about it," groused a magazine veteran not connected with the deal. "Anyone who's been at HuffPo that long probably has zero creative fire, talent or editorial ambition. Now these people are cashing seven-figure checks?" The big winners are "the most boring, non-personality people," according to a former Huffington Post employee who turned down a big job early on.
