i have much respect for jerry. but i think jerry can't lead yahoo if he doesn't acknowledge it was semel who drove the company to the ground. this "semel drive" is a serious blow to employees' already battered morale and it tells a lot how clueless jerry is.

Jesus, I have now officially given up on any chance of them turning this around. They have now insulted everyone still at Y who was clueful about what was going it. Seriously, that is a slap in the face. Filo, I know you are the quiet type but NOW is the time to speak up! Arrrgh!!

yang, have some guts, acknowlege hiring semel was a grave mistake, and remove semel's drive! that will at least tell wall street you're something.

sick! i thought semel finally leaving the company would spell some morale boost for the employees. but semel drive? wtf? and they appointed bostock to be the chairman of the board who approved semel's pay package during yahoo slumping years? jerry yang, can you wake up already? can't you see what semel and his hollywood gang did to your company?

I would like to see now long that sign stays up. I'll bet $100 it's either defaced or removed within a week.

Hmmm... Is the goal to demotivate all Yahoos? They should add a landmark note: "Named after our former CEO who earned XXX gazillions for running the company into the ground. See ya suckers!"
