Yahoo finally wins one, beats Google's DoubleClick severance package

Yang_hurrah.jpgCommenter and steadfast Yahoo apologist MarktheMarketWatcher zings Google's skimpy severance package for laid-off DoubleClickers:

Yahoo! has promised, at a minimum, a 4 month severance package to anyone who might be terminated in the event of a Microsoft takeover. So whose not evil, anyway?
Yes, congratulations, Yahoo. Your search revenues — no, your growth rate — no, your severance package outshines Google's. Of course, as my colleague Jordan Golson notes, "I bet if Google could give severance packages with Microsoft's money they'd be a lot more generous too." For inadvertent hilarity, MarktheMarketWatcher wins commenter of the day.
