    $58 million for 15 months of work…. Not bad.

    Yahoo spends $58 million to fire its chief operating officer

    $58 million for 15 months of work.


    That’s what Yahoo’s Chief Operating Officer Henrique De Castro got in severance pay when he was sent packing on Jan. 16, according to a Securities and Exchange Commission filing made public on Wednesday.


    When you factor in De Castro’s salary and stock-based compensation, he earned roughly $244,000 a day — assuming he worked weekends — by Forbes’s calculations.


    Marissa Mayer hired the top Google sales executive to revive Yahoo’s advertising not long after she left Google to take the helm at Yahoo in 2012.
    […]
    How does one apply for this gig?

    I wonder how much it is going to cost Yahoo to fire Marissa Mayer.

        A problem with women CEO's is they have a tendency to love them and leave them.

          Wow. I wonder if that is more than Salt Lake City.

            I have to make a quick trip back east and a pair of dress shoes needed a shine. As I was shining my shoes, the terrible Primary song, "Saturday is a special day, it's the day we get ready for Sunday..." popped into my head. I loathed that song as a kid, since Saturday was totally cool, but only because it was devoted to play and excessive television viewing. Why would one squander that day simply to get ready for Sunday? Sunday was the worst day of the week. The worst.

              what is wrong with me? I just sent this incredibly stuffy sentance in an email to someone who is not one of my direct reports this morning:

              Please contemplate the implications of adopting a standard convention for ____________, including these considerations: ...
              I really need a vacation. Oh right, my vacation "started" yesterday.

                Sounds like what you need then is a new job!

                    Last week a semi carrying turkeys crashed into Deer Creek reservoir. The driver somehow escaped but most of the turkeys were killed.

                    Now PETA wants to place one of those roadside memorials at the site of the crash, in honor of those turkeys that lost their lives ... a day or two before they would have been killed at the slaughterhouse anyway. No, I am not making this up.

                      You should tell them you have a smoker they could memorialize if they want.

                      Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

                        What's with all the stock trucks lately with bead lock wheels? I've noticed several. Regular size tires too.

                          My guess would be most of the people in PETA side with those who are opposed to crosses being placed where a human was killed on the highway.

                          I will admit I am not real familiar with PETA, so perhaps it is a conservative leaning group and my guess is wrong.

                            Hope the May Day protests are entertaining today. Probably a good excuse to go home early.

                              Wouldn't want to get tangled up in that 10-speed traffic!

                                10-speed would actually be handy because of the congestion downtown.
