Having worked at Yahoo a few times ...
The press usually reports senior executives leaving as constituting a "brain drain." But if even the CEO's are worthless, as the last 5 have been, how can the senior executives be expected to have any brains?
The real Yahoo brain drain is the loss of experienced engineers. And since option blocks are no longer offered to engineers, nobody with any experience is going to join.
The only people left are long-time employees with old option grants, recent grads who got rejected from Facebook, and H1B's by the thousands.
- phamilton 11y agoDon't forget the acquisitions.
- x1024 11y agoImplying that H1Bs are less talented than american workers. Russia and China say "hi, lol, ignore us at own peril"
- DrScump 11y agoThat's not what was written. If that's your connotation, that reflects on you, not him/her. Throwaway_exer listed 3 categories of workers who don't have the same freedom to choose to jump as other workers and said nothing about their comparative talent.
- x1024 11y agoThank you. I did, in fact, misunderstand.
