Yahoo is a dying company, quickly converting itself into a patent troll, and suing competitors in a desperate attempt to stay relevant long after they are. This is a dying company. I have ZERO respect for any employee of a company like this. The executives of this company that decided to become a patent troll should go hang themselves, or at least quit their jobs and save some semblance of self-respect.

>>This is a dying company. I have ZERO respect for any employee of a company like this. And I would have ZERO respect for any employee who runs from a company just because its dying. Those are the last kind people I would hire, because those are the classic cases of what Zed Shaw describes are the kind of people who work for successful companies, and not to work to make the company successful. Rats are first ones to run from a sinking ship. And employees who generally leave first during the times of crisis are generally people who have no qualities to be war time leaders, who can steer and motivate their teams in difficult times. I would never trust such people with any kind of work that is important. When I see such people, I often wonder what are they actually worth? If its for money and nothing else, what is the point in really hiring such people for important work? How can they even be trusted when to handle responsibilities in times of crisis, which forces them to quit? Its easy to continue work when things are normal in a successful flow. But its take a lot more heart and character to last through tough and difficult times. When I see people who want to join Google, or Facebook or <anything> just because its successful, and somebody else has already done the base work to make the company successful. I see people who just like to be part of somebody else's success without contributing nothing much to it.
