Yahoo lays off 2000 workers in major cost overhaul
Yahoo announces 2000 job cuts about 14 percent of its staff as new CEO Scott Thompson reshapes the company to focus on core strengths and mobile computing. The move, expected to save roughly 375 million annually and incur a 125 to 145 million pre tax severance charge, will reduce current quarter earnings. The layoffs, notified Wednesday, mark the sixth mass purge in four years, the deepest yet.
