wonder what kind of person they'll go with for the new CEO
someone who has no issues with cleaning house. frankly they should have gone with an axeman after semel in order to clean up the company.
you bring in the axeman, let him cut for a year until the forest is clear of deadwood and the remaining trees are in nice neat rows, you give him a $10 million golden parachute, send him on his way, and start trying to build something out of the good material left. if they had done this after semel, yahoo might be in a better place today.
i wonder if filo and ash patel will leave also...frankly it might do good to completely clean house of all the old guard and start with a fresh team with no alliances or turf issues.
you can be sure that selling to microsoft will be put back on the table for the next ceo.
Deadwood? As I'm young and hungry, I like he ring of it. But some call it human capital. Layoffs always hurt in the long term - too much know-how is lost.
