Jerry Yang to Yahooers: One in Ten of You Is Gone

this is a very very hard time for us....Yahoo comes looking for u to work for them now this.....and you have 2 wait 2 months to see if you are one of the unlucky ones....thats insane...I'm going to dive my husband insane with the wait....we are like everyone are struggling now with gas prices,grocery bills,3 kids, college, housepayments......out... placement....for writers they hired...yeah right....no such thing in the media.....and our guys travel for weeks and weeks in any given year following their sports beat....and Yahoo took pride that they beat ESPN.com's numbers month after month with only a quarter of a size of ESPN's staff...well....I guess Yahoo will lose that....man did they brag that they had much higher numbers with their Olympic coverage than the network that covered them....they even mentioned it in their 3q statement that came out yesterday.....my husband was hoping for two years that Google would start their own unique content....he lied in fear Yahoo would do this.....they have a whole group of writers which they hired away from newspapers,sports illustrated,etc...maki... tons of money in their division .......but the cuts are suppose to be across the board. These guys were all contractors....last yr we jumped for joy when they were made employees....we finally had benefits.....so the story is 2 weeks pay only for this group if they get pink slips am I'm sure they will......their contract yr wont count...."Merry Christmas"and a "Unhappy New Years"
