Re: Yahoo Lays Off 400 Employees In India
#2Yahoo India was pretty bloated, with layer after layer of management with very high salaries and not much to do. Hard to blame anyone for the decision. There were some really good devs embedded in all that lard, hopefully they'll be fine. Five months severance is pretty generous by Indian standards. That said, even very good engineers don't have as many options here as those in SF have, and not as many job opportunities,so I'm sure there are quite a few people feeling desperate today.
(Fwiw, Ms Mayer has been honing this particular axe for a long time now. Rumors have been circulating inside Yahoo India for quite a while now about an impending massacre. The good guys mostly left some time ago.)
PS: I don't work at Yahoo, but I do live in Bangalore and know people who worked there. Fwiw,my friends are all fine,either moved out in time or relocated to the USA etc. fwiw.)

#4Has this been confirmed yet? TC is hardly a reliable source of news.

#5Sources tell me that they are asking 90% of their staff at Bangalore to relocate to CA instead of laying off them. Not ideal, but better than being laid off.

Wouldn't that be impractical or impossible from a visa standpoint? That seems like a lot of H1Bs in 1 year for a single company.
