Firing 12,000 people ...

Point taken, but if you're referring to Loeb's firing plan that Mayer supported, the firing would have been towards roughly 2,400 - 3,600 workers, not 12,000.

From the article:

"... Loeb’s plan was to fire between 20 percent and 30 percent of Yahoo!’s roughly 12,000 workers — an idea Mayer initially supported ..."

Edit: yep, I agree it's still a lot, just wanted to point out the difference.




Ah - thanks for pointing that out, my mistake there, though that is still a lot of workers. Up to 1/3rd of your co-workers gone.
