Come nella miglior tradizione americana il licenziamento è avvenuto tramite una lettera mandata dal CEO per comunicare i piani di ristrutturazione dell’azienda:
“Today, we will begin the process of informing employees about these changes. As part of that effort, approximately 2,000 people will be notified of job elimination or a phased transition. We value our people and for those who will be leaving, we thank you for all you have contributed to Yahoo!. We will treat all of our people with dignity and respect, providing resources to help manage through their transition.”
