Yahoo! CEO Carol Bartz Imposes Salary Freeze


Yahoo Inc.'s employees will forgo their usual pay raises this year as the slumping Internet company struggles to boost its profits in a brutal recession.

The Sunnyvale-based company confirmed the salary freeze Thursday, the day after informing employees of the decision.

The austerity measure marks one of the first cost-cutting actions taken by Yahoo's new chief executive, Carol Bartz, who was hired two weeks ago to engineer a turnaround.

Her past experience: Senior Lead Engineer - Quality, Enterprise Operations at General Dynamics - Advanced Information Systems (GDAIS)
Senior Manager - Business Development, Intelligence Mission Solutions at General Dynamics - Advanced Information Systems (GDAIS)

2. They also offshored 1500 jobs recently.

They fired 1500 U.S. workers and shipped their jobs overseas.

That's why I switched my email/pictures from Yahoo/Flickr to Care2.com, a small company in California. They're great... check them out!

I've been switching whatever business I do from corporations to small businesses whenever there's an option.

4. That's been my impression, too.

As I am so often reminded, no one is pure and every business is tainted in some way (voluntarily or not), so we just do the best we can.
