    Don't care what anyone says, I love working at Yahoo - always have and always will. I bleed purple and if you ask me, I plan to be there as long as I can.

    @AbrahamGalopamonster: That explains why longtime Yahoos are so bloodless, doesn't it?

    You know, their horoscopes section seems to be quite popular. Perhaps they should promote whoever is in charge of that.


    If you're going to make decisions based on total bullshit, it might as well be bullshit people like, right?

    @Krashstar:

    The funny thing about horoscopes is that for the nearly 6 years I worked at Yahoo, there was *no* engineer assigned to that property. It had a part-time product manager that made sure it kept collecting revenue, but otherwise it was pretty much on autopilot.

    As a former Yahoo, I find it rather sad to read about its slow demise. Beginning in earnest with Terry Semel, there has been a steady rot within the ranks of its management that is leading the company further down the road to oblivion. I'm curious as to what the current employees have to say about their situation -- whether the blames lies on the internal politics and petty fiefdoms which are destroying morale, incapable management (Yes, I mean you Jerry, Sue, and Ash!), or the insane bureaucracy that has infiltrated the company.


    Any current Yahoos, do speak up!

    Where'd the Oscar Prediction post go? It was above this one, I think.

    Yahoo's fortunes have fallen ever since they started charging for their personals. Coincidence? Nope.

    @jasonelias: That's right. Yahoo is struggling because you are too cheap to pay for a dating site and now troll for skanks at plentyoffish.com

    "Decker, a former investment banker who wrecked her credibility with Wall Street through overoptimistic forecasts."


    This, not a sentence.
