In an effort to give Yahoo! employees some encouragement to stay with the company throughout these tough times, Yang has just introduced a severance package that will give at least 4 months of salary to employees who are fired by Microsoft. But Yang wouldn’t be satisfied with 4 months as he and his buddies will be getting 24 months worth of salary in case they are fired (I wonder why Microsoft should keep this guy any way). So he will be getting more money than most of us, our kids, and our grand kids will make in their lifetimes. I guess he deserves it after bringing Yahoo! to where it is now, doesn’t he?
