I honestly don't see what you're getting at. Obviously he was competent enough to get a promotion by whatever metric they were using.

- vidoc 11y agoI perfectly see where he is getting at, having witnessed how "promotions" go at yahoo myself :P
- enraged_camel 11y agoHow do "promotions" go at yahoo?
- vidoc 11y agoIt's a rather clubby environment where social climbing is key.
- sheepmullet 11y agoAnd those people aren't getting let go
- macspoofing 11y agoI've seen and heard of people getting promoted to get them out of somebody's hair. That may involve a in-organization horizontal or vertical promotion, or a glowing reference for another job. Promotion for incompetence is a thing. I'm not saying this was the case, but don't assume just because he was promoted or because they gave him a leave of absence (!!) that it must mean he was great.
- jlarocco 11y agoIf working at Yahoo is really so Kafkaesque that getting a promotion is meaningless in determining how you're doing and the value you're providing the company, then they deserve to lose the lawsuit. I suppose it would explain some other things about how Yahoo's been doing recently.
