AOL CEO Tim Armstrong came under fire by outraged employees after he singled out the sick babies of two women at the company for increasing the cost of health benefits. Armstrong explained that the sick babies forced AOL to dole out millions in medical expenses on a company-wide conference call. Armstrong’s controversial comments followed his explanation on CNBC why he was making changes to the company’s 401(k) program.

According to a report by Re/code’s Kara Swisher, Armstrong’s baby bashing did not go over well with many AOL employees:

“His comments during the earnings call, specifically blaming the policy change in part on the costs associated with the birth of two ‘distressed’ babies by AOL employees, were completely outrageous. Almost unbelievable.”
