I'll add number 11, getting canned doesn't look good on a resume.
More on Yahoo take over

Yahoo....Microsoft....here's the secret
by Dango517 - 3/30/08 2:43 PM In reply to: Seams the people at Cnet are not alone by Dango517Google only does two things better then either of you.
1) There searches have more relevance. They produce a higher quality search result so more people use Google.
2) There advertising reach more people because they do more of it.
That's all they do.
Seams the people at Cnet are not alone
by taboma - 3/30/08 6:03 PM In reply to: Seams the people at Cnet are not alone by Dango5171. Want to escape before Yahoo gets acquired by Microsoft
2. Lack of innovation at Yahoo
3. Excessive bureaucracy
4. Seeking job stability and expect more layoffs
5. Want to be bigger fish in smaller pond elsewhere
6. Yahoo has lost its focus
7. Volatility of stock price after Microsoft offer
8. Poor management
9. Long hours and on-call nights and weekends
And I'll offer one to round out the list:
10. Google is hiring
Good luck to Google if they want to buy out Yahoo.
Better than Microsuck.

Seams the people at Cnet are not alone
by taboma - 3/31/08 9:55 PM In reply to: Seams the people at Cnet are not alone by Dango517Dango. Why would anyone list getting canned on a resume at all?
"This is the 12th time I have been fired. No. 13 will bring me good luck!"
That is what you should write. Right!? Wrong!
Funny comment on your part!
I do feel sorry for the people at CNET if they are taken over.
Same for Yahoo folks. I hate Microsuck!
I work in advertising. Here today. Gone tomorrow! Fact of life.
Same with digital media and newspapers.
Maybe Mark Flax knows here as a MOD? I wonder?
I will bet you that James Dennison can figure it out.
Maybe we need the old Mark and "Who let the snakes out back in?"

During an interview
by Dango517 - 3/31/08 10:38 PM In reply to: Seams the people at Cnet are not alone by tabomawouldn't it be better to say..."I left Cnet for better position". Wouldn't it be better to have a resume with no employment gaps in it that you have to explain. There are many different jobs in the world some are more secure then others. In some fields holes and layoffs and firings don't "float" at all. In fact in some fields you might not re-enter them at all after such an event or too many of them. In some fields there more common place. I know how volatile advertising is, thou even here there are some stable positions if you seek them out. Depends on the person and there goals. For some it's money, for others security. Usually, security means less money but not always.
During an interview
by taboma - 4/2/08 2:09 AM In reply to: During an interview by Dango517Dango. Amost everyone goes for the money. Wouldn't you?
CNET is being taken over. Everyone in the field knows what is happening.
Leave the sinking ship and move on,
Look what is happening with WBZ-TV, Nation-wide.
Black Monday, March 31st, 30 people lost their job in Boston.
Some were escourted with security officers out of the building.
How about that! WEIRD! Why is that!?
Dango, Have a professional write a resume for you if you feel that way.
Here today, gone tomorrow will be recognised in that field always.
Sad but true. Move on. Get a better job with more money if you can find it.
Want to sell your home today? Good luck!
What would you be going through if you lost you job and wanted to sell your home!? TOUGH right now. Sad times. It will get worse before it gets better here in the U.S.
You could live in England a have a $10 drauft beer or an $11.00 pack of cigerettes coming soon. What is wrong with England screwing around with the economy, the pound value and the Euro? What a screwed up country.
The idiots from England are fouling up the economic balance.
CHEERS! Jolly-old-England are as backwards as the Colonial Days when they wanted to take over the United States of America.
Now they want to screw with the European Nations and the Euro.
The Europiam Nations are not pleased with England right now.
Get the Hook!!
What a Shame. Jolly-ho and ta-ta. Shame on England!
Cheers!

AND
Sad times. It will get worse before it gets better here in the U.S.
And here I thought the US gained it's independence from England.
Just because some countries don't want to get in as much debt as other countries, don't blame your problems on them.

I'd go with number one
by James Denison - 3/31/08 11:41 PM In reply to: Seams the people at Cnet are not alone by tabomaThen I'd apply at Novell, Oracle, or Apple.
And what about the C|net courses?
by drpruner - 3/30/08 4:39 PM In reply to: CNET losing against takeover forces. by James DenisonCurrently the access is free and about as liberal as it can get. Will that become paid-access only?
CNET XOUSWA

Seems JANA and it's partners may soon have their hand picked directors placed in CNET. This will come very close to completing a hostile takeover. They still need to gain a majority following among all directors but that may happen soon enough. The previous CEO is out and Farber is already in that position. News in the market seems favorably received, the stock price immediately began to recover.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 13 (Reuters) - Hedge fund JANA Partners LLC, which is trying to take control of the board of CNET Networks Inc's (CNET.O: Quote, Profile, Research) board, said on Thursday a court upheld its right to nominate seven directors to the board of the U.S. online media company.
CNET said in January that the efforts of a group of activist investors led by JANA Partners to nominate two directors to its board and expand the board by five members were "improper" under its bylaws.
JANA took the matter to the Delaware Court of Chancery, challenging CNET's interpretation of its bylaws.
Really, Who cares!?
massive value destruction

Starting to get nasty now. Looks like JANA is smelling blood in the water this time, seem more determined than the last couple efforts on other companies. It's their intentions that are worrisome since I suspect they are into taking over, selling off company areas, leaving a basic core behind and then moving on. If nothing else they've woke up the current board of directors.
