    One Yahoo's ten reasons for leaving

    A Yahoo employee writing the blog Sambog.com writes: "I still like the Yahoo! brand and continue to use Yahoo! News, Finance, Mail and Flickr. I love the culture, the environment and the fun stuff." But the disclaimer only comes after ten reasons why he'd leave the company. A list which our tipster tells us "sums Yahoo! up completely," below.

    • PMs spend more time writing Power Point Slides (PPT) then writing PRDs
    • It take 10 meetings to agree on something and eventually, the project got scrap or delayed for another 10 weeks
    • When an engineer leave the company, the company hire a clueless director.
    • The folks in Burbank has no clue about banner advertising and they are managing new products for graphical advertising
    • Only 20% of the Yahoo! staff actually work and the rest just WFH and less than 5 hours per day
    • When you ask someone to fix or do something, common answer is “Talk to my manager first”
    • When you have new project, all managers ask for headcount when they have idle folks doing nothing
    • Yahoos only want to work to get recognition and not to get things done or fix anything.
    • Everyone only want to work on projects that has top management and executive visibility
    • Everyone care for themselves and not for the good of the company as it used to be in 2000
