    Sounds like IBM's Dubuque facility. Big Blue made a big deal with Dubuque to build a delivery center, and then promptly laid of tens of thousands of American workers. Now they wonder why they can't staff the facility.

    Seriously, who would want to move to Dubuque?

    In reply to The French Resistance to Yahoo's Cost-Cutting CEO
    Watching this video, I was reminded that the beautiful French language is uniquely and supremely suited to bullshitting. So much so that they have a word for it--glossolalie, which means "the art of employing the maximum amount of fancy words to obfuscate actual meaning and communicate absolutely nothing."

    Vive la glossolalie!

    I'd say this video is a perfect explanation of why Yahoo doesn't want to throw good Euros after bad.

    @valet_of_the_dolls: Not at all, particularly when it can be done with US workers instead of French ones.

    @Swifter: I'm not sure how that posted twice, but the first one did disappear for a while, I swear...

    And yes, I see your point now.

    @NerzzleintheVerzzle: I don't believe or disbelieve it. Forming even an educated guess would take a little more reading on the subject than I'm willing to do this morning. I was just trying to figure out what the initial post meant.

    Someone "invented" PHP? I'd always assumed it had plopped out of the collective asses of a thousand webmonkeys. Seriously, if I'd invented PHP, I wouldn't be bragging about it. #yahoo

    Joe Fucking Kernan. He was a rock star back when the market was going up, up, up. Now he is a still happy frat boy talking head who has become CNBC's best symbol of an excessive/crooked Wall Street era that (hopefully) won't return any time soon.

    I haven't watched the video, but was there any mention of the "peanut butter memo", or is she another person oblivious to the problem?

    Despite her seemingly caught off guard on that Fortune reporter's question, I usually find her demeanor to be somewhat refreshing.

    This message is completely content free except to inform you of when more messages can be expected. Is this where Julia Allison interns end up? That's the only population that I can imagine could tolerate this egocentric little brain fart complete with private medical information disclosure to the whole damn company as if it were the f'ing quarterly report.
