@Rock tha Hizzee: Totally different, as far as I can tell. Customer Advocacy is a fancy name for plain old-fashioned customer service and support, while Customer Insights was some data-driven marketing initiative.
I have to wonder about the sense of entitlement our "fearless leaders" have. Perhaps it is just a reflection of my modest upbringing, but I really don't understand why it would even occur to them to hit up their (struggling) company for a loan and have the company subsidize their mansion. Isn't that what their (all too bloated) salary is for?
Is this "gimme gimme gimme" attitude something taught in business school? Did their parents forget to set limits when raising them? Are they simply egocentric, selfish a**holes that have somehow lucked into their position?
Regardless, I'm very happy to see that Carol Bartz put the kibbosh on it. A swift kick out the door for Pat Wadors and David Windley would really help deliver the message that this type of behavior is no longer compatible with Yahoo.

Also- 'adjust work areas' is code for losing your window.
