What does it say about Yahoo! if they’re hiring these worthless people to begin with? You say he’s only talking to the ppl that sucked and were fired. That they came over with nothing…Then why were they hired? The person that said without a good Human Resource unit.. they’re gonna sink or implode or whatever words they used.. they’re right. Don’t hire someone to begin with that doesn’t perform.

Two year vesting? No such thing.

And even if the above were all true, they’d be underwater.

How do people like this author get jobs? Or keep them?

That said, Yahoo! would be even better off if twice as many execs left. There are just too many of them, and the more that leave the better off the company will be. Again, nothing against these people personally. It’s just that Yahoo! would be better off with a much smaller percentage of managers.

And speaking for the folks I know and work with, morale is just fine. Though a higher stock price definitely wouldn’t hurt

Wow. I’ve never felt so pathetic to be down at the “engineering level”.

This freedom of speech goes too far sometimes. Bad bloggers like Arrington should be ‘laid off’ too! There are many people like him who have come into the valley to cash in…its time to throw them out!

Oh and yeah, Arrington – you look fat. Maybe its time you stop running your stupid blog and get a few rounds on the treadmill instead.

Yes yahoo is hiring, I know this for a fact.

-curious as to where this came from? it’s not the experience I nor others I know who have worked there have had. There is always the lure of Google perks (which seem to be on their way out the door) and/or “hot new stock options” a la Facebook, but in my experience yahoo hasn’t had any more difficult time than any other company to hire and retain (Sun, MSFT, IBM, HP, Ebay, etc)

Who said you were a tech top 100? It seems you like a lot of soap opera!! It’s either Yahoo bashing or 1938 media day.

Today is my last! Dropping you on RSS, Twitter, etc, etc!

That being said…morale inside of Yahoo isn’t so bad. Noone I work with really cares about the news. Some people I know have left but that’s really not that out of the norm (this IS a tech company).

Generally speaking the engineers still get to work on really cool products which are used by more people on the web than any other site. That’s what keeps them happy…and they aren’t that affected by the news.

I get contacted on a daily basis about other jobs. I’m not a Yahoo fanboy but I enjoy my work and those I work with…and I know Yahoo isn’t going anywhere…so it’s all good.

Anyways, back to my original thought…the math in this article…is beyond not making sense. The RSUs have value but definitely not any options.

Also, most of these so called executives should be fired/downsized as Yahoo sheds useless products and employees, such as TechCrunch’s beloved Garlinghouse.

Yahoo hasn’t lost money in a single quarter, and even in its weakest quarter it makes more money than most of the idiotic companies TechCrunch loves (twatter anybody?) who have no business plan and will never make a dime.

Yahoo has also more users than the majority of the sites out there in any product niche, and definitely beats Microsoft on all web categories. The only company desperate here is Microsoft, which most likely pays a bonus to TechCrunch for peddling the anti-Yahoo jihad. It’s standard Microsoft operation, and your idiotic analysis confirms it.

I keep intending to make lists of what I use various email addresses for so when they go deadpool (in the vernacular) I can switch stuff to other addresses.
