Still, I strangely don't feel a lack of confidence in them that I would if this were another large company in another industry. If, say, all the GM execs finally (wisely) decided to jump ship, it would be the end of General Motors for sure. In the search world, however, we seem to be more environmentally friendly in that we recycle talent. Someone leaves a post, new talent fills the spot while the person leaving goes onto a new niche/opportunity. Best fo luck to Tim, ...and Yahoo. Man, Yahoo seems to be bleeding folks these days.
