Jerry Yang Leaves Yahoo

Yeah, all start-up founders can’t enjoy Jobsian “second comings” when they’re hired back to be CEO again.

i strongly believe that having transformed our platform and better aligned costs and revenues, we have a unique window for the right ceo to take ownership over the next wave of mission-critical decisions facing the company.

In other words: the board will shed as much blood as Ballmer demands before he considers buying the company again.

 

I love (as in: I’m gonna have nightmares tonight about this memo) that in 2008 the founder of Yahoo still adds the exclamation mark at the end of the company’s name, and doesn’t use a single uppercase letter in the entire memo. I’m not sure how exactly, but it makes perfect sense and explains a lot.

Want to know when I post new content to my blog? It's a simple as registering for free to an RSS aggregator (Feedly, NewsBlur, Inoreader, …) and adding www.ff00aa.com to your feeds (or www.garoo.net if you want to subscribe to all my topics). We don't need newsletters, and we don't need Twitter; RSS still exists.
