Way to be someone that contributes to the 80s like recession, in a bullish economy these tactics will work, but in a down economy firing people will not boost the stock price. It will not improve Yahoo's brand, and it will hardly help them. You do not want to fire people in a bear economy unless you have to. Look at the 80s and stock prices correlated with layoffs and you will see that it hardly effects the stock price. I firmly disagree with your position, and I don't want Yahoo to fire away who it is, to create some short term value that can easily be bought by some company that wants to spam Yahoo! traffic. That is not a good fit, and you are not going to get Jerry Yang to do it, nor the board. Yahoo provides critical leadership in the internet game, and having them absorbed by another internet company like MS or Google is not good for the ecosystem. IBM does not have a strong internet play, and since they restructured in the 90s, they know how to do it. They also know that you generally need to radically shift a companies culture and IBM is involved in building community. IBM would be a GREAT partner to lead Yahoo through this, and maybe a great buyer of Yahoo Stock.
