In 2015, Yahoo! More than a third of employees left



    According to the New York Times, Yahoo! fired more than a third of its employees, the reason for which was the policy of the CEO of Yahoo! Marissa Mayer, who has held this post since mid-2012.

    At the very beginning of Ms. Mayer's career at Yahoo! she inspired employees and gave them hope that the company would flourish, but after more than three years of faith in a bright future, Yahoo! and Marissa’s employees were practically gone. According to information received by the American Glassdoor website, where people can anonymously evaluate the companies in which they work or worked, only a third of Yahoo! believes that the company is doing well and is developing normally. In order to feel how small this figure is, it is worth mentioning only that on Twitter 61% of employees believe that the company is moving towards a brighter future, and on Google even more - 77%. Glassdoor spokesman Scott Dobroski, who analyzed data from the polls, said

    Staff Reduction Yahoo! They started back in August 2014, when the first wave of layoffs began - at that time employees left the state every month, which could not but create a tense atmosphere inside the company. Marissa Mayer was forced to take this step after the demand of Starboard Value LP, which is the company's investors, to reduce Yahoo! 500 million dollars.

    In March last year, Marissa announced that the "bloodshed" is over, and everyone can breathe quietly - no further layoffs are planned. However, despite her promise, she changed her mind, and another 1,100 employees were laid off by the end of the year. Now Yahoo! totals 11 thousand people, many of which do not favor Mrs. Mayer. Moreover, the next wave of mass layoffs will take place at the end of January this year, as we wrote earlier.

    Fearing that the company would lose valuable employees, Marissa appointed huge bonuses (up to several million dollars) to keep them from leaving the competition. However, such a policy did not cause delight among other employees, further reducing the popularity of the CEO.
