Departing Yahoo music chief Ian Rogers wasn't "reorganized out" of the company, a source tells us. "The reorg was caused by his departure with two days' notice." Rogers left for all the obvious reasons: to escape both Microsoft and — like others before him — Yahoo Media czar Scott Moore's high-pressure management style. "He was tied of swimming upstream," our source says. "But he was careful to make nice with Scott before he left as to not burn the bridge."

How do you make nice with two days' notice?
Quickly.
As Yahoo music chief, what did he do? Supervise auditions for yodelers and banjo players for their commercials?
At any rate, yo escaped Microsoft, yo wins!
Ian Rogers is an industry giant, o' aptly named BobDope.
Hrm. Seeing how I sent my letter of resignation March 30th, and I'm still sitting in a Yahoo! desk today, I'd have to call bullshit on this one.
I gave standard two weeks, shortened by two days because of a previously-scheduled trip to Boston with my 17 year-old daughter who is bound for MIT in the fall.
So tomorrow is my last day.
Like Flava said, Don't Believe The Hype.
