Yahoo did not have 14k people in 2017 I left yahoo shortly before the merger. The article says it was between yahoo and AOL. There were many layoffs prior to the merger probably only about ~9000 people were around in 2017.
You are correct though, they shrunk to half over the last decade but they had already shrunk by about half in 2017.
- Macha 4y agoThe yahoo that exists today is the Yahoo+AOL post-merger entity, so 14,000 is the right number to compare it to. It's not like all those AOL properties were canned - the business unit with the shutdown announced today came from the AOL side of the merger, as did the site linked in this topic for example.
