 After our recent posts about a hiring freeze at Yahoo (YHOO), we're hearing more stories which (anecdotally) confirm that Sunnyvale is battening down the hatches. Here's one, via e-mail, from Web standards guru Molly Holzschlag.
I had been just about to sign a contract for a week long training event as part of the Yahoo! Juku program [an internal training program for developers]. We were all very excited about the event, when I got a phone call from my contact there over Memorial Day weekend to tell me that a decision to drop contractors from the program was being made (they have excellent internal folks). So clearly it was budget related, but I cannot tell you the actual facts about the influences that led to that decision. It was handled very well, however, and as I said we were all very disappointed and expressed hope of working together again at some time in the future.
Anyone else want to weigh in with their tale? We have also heard from Yahoos who insist that hiring continues apace, and we're happy to process those tales, too: The more information the better. Drop us a line at tips@alleyinsider.com or use our anonymous tip box (note that it is indeed anonymous, so we won't be able to follow up with you unless you leave us some sort of contact information).
