I will say just to set the record straight, the SVP for marketing (Angela Cortlin) is in charge of the actual production slaves, whereas the Bermann guy is in charge of the talking-heads (the sales slimeballs - like how many sales people and their bodyguards - useless account managers and sales planners who don't know how to plan - do you really need?). I can tell you that the layoffs that happened back in July were a lot of useless sales support people that had no purpose. MySpace sales is the epitomy of "let's see how many people we can hire to do absolutely NOTHING" but they get all the glory. All-in-all MySpace lucked out (so it seems on paper) to have grabbed a chunk of talented people (such is the luck that Rupert Murdock has in general if you look at all his entities - he managed to attract talented people who will work for food). But really overall internally, MySpace still has sucky management and it's a breeding ground for high school clicks and only the popular people with no damn skills or experience get promoted. I'm an insider, I see things. Someone up there talked about how many SVP’s does MySpace need to screw in a lightbulb and you’re right, too damn many.
