Yahoo CEO Fired Over Falsifying Resume |
|
|
Posted by JayZeeBMT on Sun May 13 21:58:01 2012 Yahoo's board has fired the company's CEO, Scott Thompson, after discovering he claimed a computer-science degree on his resume which he never earned.Seriously...padding a resume for a job at one of the largest search firms in cyberdom? |

Sounds like they wanted to fire him anyway and investigated everything about him including his resume looking for any excuse and finally found one. |

One key shareholder wanted changes at both the Board and Executive levels and went digging. They found something and were able to play it up enough to cause him to step down. |
