Why doesn't Tom's just make a series on this? "The Yahoo! CEO Chronicles part XXXIII"

 

[jaquith]

It's a perfect excuse for a major class action lawsuit! It's a lie that's been published to the shareholders misrepresenting the qualifications of their CEO.

It is a 'big deal' to those with investments in Yahoo.

 

[eddieroolz]

This inadvertent error explanation really explains nothing. It's a filthy excuse.

Yahoo! been going downhill for the past few years and now with the latest fiasco they are looking for anything to help bring the company back to it's former glory. Sorry investers that ship has sailed so time to cash in your chips while you can and move on.

Well, if Yahoo get's a complete restructuring at the higher echelons of the company, then maybe they can get people who will bring the company back up to it's former glory, or at least keep Yahoo afloat. It's kinda discouraging to see a problem such as this CEO's apparently falsified resume happen to Yahoo.

Two people in one company with potential lying on their resumes and the two happen to be holding key positions?

Man, I think I'm sticking with google

That's saying that lying on a resume is allowed. What's the point of school if anyone can just say "Oh yeah, I have my degree." without having sat one day in a classroom?
