AOL hostile takeover of Yahoo
AOL hostile takeover of Yahoo
Free food, phones, and decent health care. (I dropped theirs, though, because the price was absurd for a single person.)
Yahoo was a great place to work until we were bought by Verizon. We were merged with AOL, became Oath for a year, and then decided to change names again due to business failures and the complete absurdity of the name.
Now AOL has taken over at almost every level, and all the personality that was Yahoo is being wiped out. All perks are being downgraded, and management constantly lies about what is going on.
Stop lying to and hiding from your employees. You claim transparency, but that is not what is happening at all.
