Yahoo is known as being a far-Left tool for the Democrat Agenda.
Fix the management chain or else they are dopomed

Too many corporate reorgs and leadership departures to make 3 company cultures (Verizon, Yahoo, AOL) mesh well. People are either looking to get out or waiting for a layoff package.
Layoffs, bad management, no care for employees, no appreciation for work
