While Yahoo profits dropped 12 percent in 2007, Yahoo president Sue Decker's annual bonus got a 29 percent bump, from $850,000 to $1.1 million. The increase, disclosed in an SEC filing, is probably due to Decker's mid-year promotion from CFO. Decker also pulled a $815,000 salary in 2008. Yahoo general counsel Michael Callahan also got a raise. He earned a $225,000 bonus in 2007, up from $200,000 in 2006. Good to know the going rate for moral pygmies these days.
