发帖数: 36 | 1 Computerworld - Yahoo is denying reports that the company is in the midst of
a 20% reduction of its workforce.
Rumors began swirling online late on Thursday afternoon when high-tech blog
TechCrunch , citing unnamed sources, reported that the online company is
preparing to lay off 20% of its entire staff of about 14,000, or 2,800
people.
The company is not denying there are layoffs in the works, but is trying to
temper the report. "Yahoo is always evaluating expenses to align with the
company's financial goals," Yahoo representative Dana Lengkeek told
Computerworld by e-mail. "However, a 20% reduction in Yahoo's workforce
across the board is misleading and inaccurate."
Speculation about layoffs at Yahoo comes just one day after reports surfaced
that another Internet icon, Google , was getting ready to hand out 10% pay
raises across the board at the beginning of the new year.
Once an Internet giant and pioneer, Yahoo has slipped into a distance second
-place to Google in the hot search market, where Yahoo recently tossed out
its own search engine and formalized a deal with Microsoft to use Bing
search for all of Yahoo's sites.
Last month, the Internet was abuzz with speculation that AOL was interested
in buying Yahoo.
Citing unnamed sources, the Wall Street Journal reported that AOL's plan to
buy Yahoo was so preliminary that it hadn't even included entered
discussions with Yahoo.
"Putting AOL and Yahoo together is like tying two rocks together to make one
of them float," Gabriel Consulting Group analyst Dan Olds has said
previously of a potential Yahoo-AOL deal. | s********y
