    Yahoo songwriter uploads layoff angst to YouTube

    "Screw You, Yahoo!" is a "9 to 5" anthem for the YouTube generation, a cri de cubicle for a creative class which discovered Internet companies are just as stultifying as the rest of corporate America.

    It's also really terrible, in a way that veers on high camp, but doesn't quite cross the border.

    Michelle Chappel is a singer-songwriter and "international creativity consultant" who says she's worked three separate consulting gigs at Yahoo, because she "likes the people so much." After turning her recent experiences into a music video, we doubt she'll be getting much more work at Sunnyvale. No worries! "What are you going to do / when we all get jobs at Microsoft?" she sings, taunting Yahoo CEO Jerry Yang for laying off 1,500 people last week.
