So they do the dumbest thing a company can. Spends 10~30million a head, and they are out the door as soon as their contract allows. (case in point, your host. and he was even a case where yahoo wanted to buy the product...) oh, and they are so sure everyone is leaving, that the new policy (look it up, was on techcrunch) is to give out annual bonuses instead of pay rises and promotions.
