you can say that about any company. any office. google headquarter is full of layers of management with little to do. etc. the problem with this news is that yahoo, instead of evaluating those layers and managers, took the lazy aproach. then being close to revenue deadlines, made it look twice as lazy. firing useless layers of management is good. laying off with BS excuses is not. for example, they laid off people no…
> you can say that about any company Different companies have dramatically different amounts of management.
after they are over some 20k non-manual labor employees, its all in the median for my comment to apply

They pay peanuts
How much do product companies like Yahoo pay in India?
A bit more than twice the amount large consultancies pay. And these large consultancies recruit tens of thousands of employees every year, as opposed to product companies that have a total on a few thousand employees.
India is a very tough place to make a good wage even if heavily skilled. There's a lot of demand, sure. But there's an overload of supply.
