4.6b is profit is substantial No, they had 4.6b in revenue. Their operating income was 146m for 2014... (which is a big drop from the 590m in 2013, and 565m in 2012). Re edit: I see you edited the profit number to 7b. This number includes 10b in one-time asset sales during 2014. (EDIT: sold 10b of Alibaba stake [0]). For Yahoo's sake, I hope Marissa's plan isn't to sell off Yahoo 10b at a time to boost net profits. it'd be a travesty if 15k people lost their jobs for a little short term action. No where have I suggested layoffs. I said Marissa may find herself out of a job if things don't improve. I imagine she has another year or two max (unless things change). That's very different than saying 15k people should be let go. 0. http://dealbook.nytimes.com/2014/09/25/yahoo-faces-moment-of-decision-again/ http://dealbook.nytimes.com/2014/09/25/yahoo-faces-moment-of...
