Yahoo continues to be battered by the stock markets and employees alike as the company decided to do what it does the best.. more firings and more offices to be closed
With its decision to sack 15% global workforce as well as close its regional offices in Dubai, Mexico City, Buenos Aires, Madrid and Milan, Yahoo has also decided to end products such as Games and Smart TV.
However if the company actually belives that these cuts can prevent " the collapse of yahoo" it must be day dreaming.. Unless yahoo starts focusing on the core products it has ( search/ content and video) these cuts and bruises will only be cosmetic in nature
The cuts will reduce Yahoo!'s ranks to 9,000 employees and fewer than 1,000 contractors, and save an estimated $400m in operating costs. Additionally, Yahoo! plans to sell off around $1bn worth of its holdings, including real estate and patents.
Meanwhile the latest financial results published yesterday shows Yahoo is loosing its ground further in online search and display advertising, facing increasingly tough competition from rivals Facebook (FB) and Alphabet's Google (GOOG).
