According to Valleywag, the layoffs at Yahoo are not only being mis-managed, the very notion that they resorted to layoffs when they maybe didn’t have to is a further symptom of management dysfunction.

I think I’ll just quote the Fark snark: “Citigroup has found a way to survive their bad investment in risky home loans as they plan to fire 45,000 people. Merry Christmas.“
