Yahoo’s Executive Structure Crumbles: Garlinghouse (peanut butter manifesto guy) + More to leave
- DenisM 18y agoI wonder if now is a good time to join Y! as a developer? Lots of people leaving -> lots of new opportunities.
- ROFISH 18y agoDepends. If you just want a nice paying 9-5, sounds great. But every single day since Microsoft walked away, another big name from Yahoo leaves. It's like rats on a sinking ship...
- cglee 18y agoTo carry your analogy further, those who salvage the ship gets the treasure. More specifically, what I mean is that it takes different skills/tolerance to steer a ship versus salvaging one. If you are similar to those who are leaving Yahoo, then you probably shouldn't join right now. But if you possess skills that can help the company right now, it's a golden opportunity.
- alaskamiller 18y agoIt would be if they didn't put a hiring freeze. Awkward considering all that money wasted on advertising.
- DenisM 18y agoThat doesn't concern me much. If one were to decide to join Y! to help it take a new course there will be open positions. Hiring freeze is likely about "old" Yahoo, not the "new" one.

- ardit33 18y agoso, is this a real loss? These are the same people that led yahoo burned yahoo to the ground. They are part of the old system, and some new blood in yahoo will probably do good. Obviously they will be hurting in the next 6months, going with a re-adjustmenet, but for the long term this might be good.
- nir 18y agoThis is all great news. Tech companies rarely suffer as result of too few executives. Tech companies are often damaged by too many and/or incompetent executives. Yahoo itself has been a classic example of that. (The fact TC presents this as some sort of terrible news is just another reason to consider it a positive development.)
