The Affect of Yahoo Layoffs

There have been rumblings about impending Yahoo layoffs and what this could mean for Yahoo as a company, search in general, Yahoo’s stock, etc. Many people believe that announcements will be made when quarterly earnings are reported tomorrow (Tuesday, January 29th). Yahoo has not confirmed that layoffs are coming, nor have they given any indication of how extensive these layoffs will be.

With that said, there is a nice recap of the situation provided by Market Watch that is worth a read.

There is 1 Perspective

What would help Yahoo a lot is to reverse their way of thinking. Instead of looking at content as the way to make money (Semel’s vision), today’s world is all about audiences. Yahoo has an incredible large and diverse audience that they have yet to find a way to deliberately monetize.

How can we get them to be thinking more bottom-up? That’s the rich question for their management.
