Work culture and team morale in yahoo / Verizon media

Moral is very low. Constant layoffs (every six months). Low bonuses to no bonuses some times. People are leaving, some office areas are ghost town. Even Verizon regrets buying us

I think layoffs are probably done (at least big ones) for a while. I agree morale is kinda low but it's chill if you can find a team to just coast and collect a decent paycheck. I think it's possible to get a good ratio of pay to effort (because at least on my old team it was pretty relaxed). I don't think the damage caused in the brief Oath era can be undone, upper management is using Oath/VM as a springboard to a fat severance package or better company. I bet Guru will be brought onto the Verizon mothership soon. I would say that another good thing is that the Yahoo name still carries some weight and the engineering is still recognized as acceptable. I was able to get interviews at a reasonable number of good companies. I have recently left
