  • Not surprising. Yahoo has been paying way above market to retain talent during a sale. Those giant stock grants from Marissa was the exception not the rule. No one should expect that gravy train to continue. This is fairly common.

    • It is fairly common for an acquired company to assimilate the acquired employees and adjust their pay accordingly. The biggest shock from my peer group was when Google acquired doubleclick. After all was settled google dropped the doubleclick salaries by -50% to standard google rates.

    I love JBQ but this was not appropriate. What is there to gain from posting that on Twitter except venting? It certainly doesn't help me as a Yahoo employee because there's no context. What does it even mean "Verizon wants to pay me less"? In the latest year end review process we just had I got a very generous ~20% raise, so it's not like there's some effort to lower salaries across the board, at least not yet.

      Can't tell if it was a good idea from his career perspective.
      But it is good to see some other person real personality and not just gray faceless company men. There are so many of them at Yahoo (as well as other companies), saying right things, smile, nodding and only carrying about their paycheck deep inside.
