<![CDATA[Yahoo HR boss Libby Sartain on her way out? - Valleywag Comments]]> <![CDATA[Yahoo HR boss Libby Sartain on her way out? - Valleywag Comments]]> <![CDATA[Yahoo HR boss Libby Sartain on her way out?]]> I worked with Libby when she was with Southwest and they don't come any better than her. She knows her business and will go the extra mile for her department and all employees. If things are not going well for Yahoo HR, there are other factors affecting this.

]]> <![CDATA[Yahoo HR boss Libby Sartain on her way out?]]> Key issue with Liby, independent of her other skills, is that she hired an HR team filled with incompetent and useless employees. If she cannot make good hires in her own team, how can she possibly build a strong team across Yahoo!??

]]> <![CDATA[Yahoo HR boss Libby Sartain on her way out?]]> It's always easy to blame the HR C level exec for, well, just about everything. But to do so is neither accurate or fair. It was obvious Libby carried Sue and Terry and Dan's orders out. What - do you think she wanted to do that whole forced Xmas vacation time off bit? Think she was in love with stacked rankings? Libby is hardly perfect but HR execs are simply the pawns of management and little more.

]]> <![CDATA[Yahoo HR boss Libby Sartain on her way out?]]> they should streamline whole hr dep... yahoo! anyway would have NO budget to do major hirings in 08/09 so why having worldwide more then 100 hr managers and much more then a dozen HR directors.

so hopefully SUE D will clean up soon, then i am going to be bullish for the stock again

Total copout. The implementer shares in the responsibility. So many execs that left Yahoo - that did lousy jobs- got enormous severance packages. Pay through the end of the year, instant vesting of options, extending stock option expiration dates years beyond their employment... That's HR's responsibility. A flawed focal (annual review process? HR. Pushing focals back a quarter several times. HR. Forcing people to take unused vacation over Christmas. HR. Sinking company morale over these issues. HR . The list goes on. You can't have the title and pay of being the head of HR without the responsibility. Whether she is a nice person or not is irrelevant.

]]> <![CDATA[Yahoo HR boss Libby Sartain on her way out?]]> she was harmless and only doing her job. she doesnt get points for change, innovation or integrity but she does for defending her hapless (and might i add promiscuous) execs, implementing what she was asked to do and overseeing staff growth by double...jeekers her predecessor had a nervous breakdown, she deserves credit for survival too.

]]> <![CDATA[Yahoo HR boss Libby Sartain on her way out?]]> Her departure would be good for the company and that is a well-understood fact at Yahoo!. Assuming (and hoping) the rumor is true, best of luck in your future endeavors.

]]> <![CDATA[Yahoo HR boss Libby Sartain on her way out?]]> Libby is the best boss anyone could hope for. She cares deeply about every single employee. The statement that she is "unpopular" is unfounded. Some cowardly person who would like to remain anonymous created this rumor to create trouble. Anyone who actually works with Libby knows that she is very good at what she does. Running a business takes guts, intelligence, and whit. If you cannot put up with it, pick a new field. Libby has so much to offer in the field of HR. If this rumor is true, Yahoo will lose a gem.

]]> <![CDATA[Yahoo HR boss Libby Sartain on her way out?]]> I was at Yahoo for 7 years and I will say that Libby at least *tried* to institute change, which is more than I can say for the Terrys and Greg Colemans. But alas, trying and succeeding are two different bitches.

Hopeless

]]> <![CDATA[Yahoo HR boss Libby Sartain on her way out?]]> She needs to go - along with he rest of the incompetent and useless HR team. They are a detriment to all decision-making at Yahoo! Best employer? Hard to believe!

]]> <![CDATA[Yahoo HR boss Libby Sartain on her way out?]]> hmmph, didn't realize we had an hr department. what do they do?

yawho

]]> <![CDATA[Yahoo HR boss Libby Sartain on her way out?]]> @sheriously: I have to agree, there. Unless their HR significantly more incompetent than most HR depts. in the valley, their problems lie elsewhere. HR doesn't actually contribute to the business, it just facilitates it. Look to sales, marketing, and engineering for the real problems.

]]> <![CDATA[Yahoo HR boss Libby Sartain on her way out?]]> If that is true, it is a major loss for yahoo. I worked with Libby and she is as good as they come. There is no way in hell Yahoo would be a Fortune "Best Place to Work" without her. There are problems at yahoo, but libby's not one of them.

sheriously

]]> <![CDATA[Yahoo HR boss Libby Sartain on her way out?]]> this would be good news, not only to mee. much more colleagues would be happy when they are going to reduce troops at Human Dep.

]]> <![CDATA[Yahoo HR boss Libby Sartain on her way out?]]> yeps this would be good news for all yahoo´s.
we are looking forward for the day when she is out... nothing worked out what she did, focal, cultural survey, hiring and much more. hopefully they will clean up and streamline HR even more - not only in US. Whole HR dep. worldwide lost touch with employees. nightmare for all employees.
