Yahoo Business News
Rumors floating around the Yahoo facilities is that closure is imminent. Yahoo recently switched all of its hiring from direct hiring to use of staffing agencies, and rumors began floating that closure could happen as early as Wednesday. Today, hundreds of boxes were brought into the offices, with no reason yet stated by management.

Re: Yahoo closing it's La Vista facility?
TRUE. Well, mostly true, I wasn't very clear in my original post; I meant just the Call-Center is shutting down, not the data center. All employees were informed by HR this morning that today is their last day.Brad wrote:FALSE
Re: Yahoo closing it's La Vista facility?
Ok, I was referring to the Data Center. I thought the call center was at 144th and Dodge in the FNB building? I thought the LaVista Building was Data Center Only.

Re: Yahoo closing it's La Vista facility?
Ha, yeah my friend that worked there just did password resets, but he also has a very thick accent so I'm sure people thought they were calling overseas lol. Yahoo has/d 2 call centers here, both locations. I figured they were going to downsize a bit and combine them, but instead they just eliminated everyone at the La Vista site.
Re: Yahoo closing it's La Vista facility?
I received no fewer than three solicitations from Yahoo! recruiters to work in that call center in 2013. I'm glad that I ignored them. Although, it would have made me an internal candidate for other positions.

Are the offices at 144th and Dodge staying open?

Wow, I thought companies generally gave more notice for layoffs.JDJase wrote:All employees were informed by HR this morning that today is their last day.

Not usually. PayPal did it the same way.

I think First Data does the same thing, "Today is your last day".
I have heard of some companies that they call you in to a "meeting" where they lay you off and when you get back to your desk, its already been boxed up for you and they escort you to the door.

Re: Yahoo closing it's La Vista facility?
A relative of mine worked at First Data for years. Most if not all the layoffs every year or so were same day notice.

Re: Yahoo closing it's La Vista facility?
I've never heard of layoffs (especially in IT) working any other way... it's about security/access. You'll be notified, and be allowed a few minutes to pack up, under supervision... escorted to the door.
At InfoGroup, there was a period where the admin people hid termination dates in people's MS Exchange contact info, as a note to themselves. If you knew it was coming, and where to look... you could figure out if you were among those being cut (or who, of your colleagues, were being let go).

Re: Yahoo Business News
Looks like it was about a 9% cut in the Omaha Yahoo Workforce.

Re: Yahoo Business News
Sounds like an activist investor has their hands in Yahoo. Talks of selling off portions of the business, hope Omaha doesn't fall victim to the musical chairs.
Re: Yahoo Business News
Marvelous. Who will they target next?

I wish an end would put to these pathetic corporate raiders.
Re: Yahoo Business News
They won't stop until they strip every business from us and sending them to Chicago or NYC. They're like locusts.

They already spun off "Yahoo Small Business". That's who host the1wags and my websites. It's now called Aabco small business.iamjacobm wrote:Sounds like an activist investor has their hands in Yahoo.

Hopeful that their Omaha office isn't too crushed by these, but 20% of your workforce is a pretty substantial effect. Got to assume that at least a portion of it will happen here..
