Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer has scheduled a "town hall" meeting for Microsoft employees tomorrow at 9 a.m. The subject of Yahoo will probably come up, but why would Microsoft employees beyond executives care?
Jobs. Microsoft has put $1.5 billion on the table to retain Yahoo employees, but what about the kids in Redmond? The combined workforce — around 79,000 at Microsoft and 13,800 at Yahoo — is a lot closer to 100,000 than any investor would like to see. Many of the employees at the two companies are investors through stock and option programs. All the same, they might take a dimmer view of new staff efficiencies than your typical equity holder.

Is he going to announce that, yes, he is indeed bald? Like here's a cue ball, and here's my head... see, both are round and have no hair. I'm bald, ladies and gentlemen. Yes, bald. I'm the CEO of Microsoft, and I have no hair on the top of my head. And I look like Uncle Fester. I think this is why Jerry hasn't been returning our calls. On Monday, I will return to Microsoft from a clinic in a remote region of Switzerland where they have perfected the art of hair restoration. I will have a full head of hair. We will then again make our offer to Yahoo.
He will make the following announcement:
"Any attack made by the Rebels against this station would be a useless gesture, no matter what technical data they have obtained. This station is now the ultimate power in the universe. I suggest we use it."
@BartKela: A-ha!
