"Yahoo has made it easier for a purchaser to fire people. the move will "[s]horten the period following a change in control during which the termination of employment would trigger an employee's eligibility for severance benefits under the severance plans from two years to one year," "[c]larify the circumstances under which an employee may terminate his or her employment for 'good reason,'" and "[p]rovide that if a potential change in control transaction is pending, Yahoo!'s Board of Directors . . . may terminate or amend the severance plans in connection with a negotiated change in control transaction."
as this comes in the wake of 1,500 layoffs, the amendments probably aren't going to do corporate morale much good.
So the Slog against Yahoo goes on. Hopefully, a new US DOJ will fix things before everyone quites and the company is destroyed.
Step 12 of the Slog — "Therefore, final victory is reached only when the competing technology's development team is disbanded, its offices reassigned, its marketing people promoted, etc. You have truly and finally won, when they come to interview for work at Microsoft.""
