Having worked at Yahoo a few times ...<p>The press usually reports senior executives leaving as constituting a &quot;brain drain.&quot; But if even the CEO&#x27;s are worthless, as the last 5 have been, how can the senior executives be expected to have any brains?<p>The real Yahoo brain drain is the loss of experienced engineers. And since option blocks are no longer offered to engineers, nobody with any experience is going to join.<p>The only people left are long-time employees with old option grants, recent grads who got rejected from Facebook, and H1B&#x27;s by the thousands.
