Yahoo netted $7B : http://finance.yahoo.com/q/is?s=YHOO+Income+Statement&annual

> no one has any work for them that actually helps the business. What is their business now? Having no work is a leadership problem. If there really is no work then layoffs are a must, but the company is floundering around with no real direction....

It sucks to be laid off, but they're better off in the long run to get away from a company with leadership like that.
