The folks at Yahoo’s Sunnyvale campus are working quite hard to beat back the aggressor that is Microsoft. So is it really any great surprise that a few of the company’s execs have been treated to some nice financial bonuses for the extra effort?
Okay, yeah, that’s a total lie. Sorry. The Yahoo suits, according to the AP, named Susan Decker (President) and Michael Callahan (General Counsel), and Blake Jorgensen (CFO) were award checks of $1.1m and $225,000, and $405,000, respectively, for all the stuff they did (and maybe didn’t do) in 2007. Yes, 2007. Before Redmond started poking at Yahoo in a very public and very provoking way. Remember, Microsoft initiated its open takeover attempt on February 1st, 2008.
