Its gonna happen. MM will get richer and some of you will bite the dust. If you are a worthless political product manager or someone who sticks to dead technology, I am thrilled if you are riffed cause you have milked the company.
If you are hardworking earnest and innovative. Hope you stay there at Yahoo.

Unless there is a miracle, Layoffs by Dec 2015 are imminent. Dont know if you have been following the display ad blocking softwares available which lead to the Google-Apple War. Yahoo is holding on because of Display Advertising and it that industry sees a change, ONLY GOD can save Yahoo leave alone keep jobs.
I would love to see Yahoo bounce back like Apple did with iPod in early 2000. Nothing short of a miracle will save Yahoo. Hope Marissa has 5000 tricks up her sleeve and UI is the least of Yahoo's problems.
Think big. Too much bureaucracy at Yahoo. Hundreds of Directors and Product Managers want to take your idea and either own it or kill it with their stupid thinking.
