The exodus continues at Yahoo

Yahoo's ineffectual leadership, falling stock price, shareholder lawsuits, and ongoing battle with Carl Icahn might all be fairly characterized as "indications that Yahoo is in serious trouble." But there are other equally-obvious signs of trouble at the beleaguered Internet pioneer. Chief among them is an ongoing brain drain and executive exodus, which got worse this week when executive vice president Jeff Weiner and chief data officer Usama Fayyad separately announced they were distancing themselves from the sinking ship that is Yahoo. Also leaving is long-time Yahoo Jeremy Zawodny, who first joined the company way back in 1999. He claims, however, that his leaving has nothing to do with the current issues, but is rather related to "something very compelling." I'm guessing it's a company with less drama and more of a future, but maybe I'm reading into this a little too much.
