Marissa Mayer Has Quietly Cut 1,000 Jobs At Yahoo:
'Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer has cut 1,000 jobs since she joined the company almost a year ago.

According to Reuters reporter Alexei Oreskovic, she's done it "through a combination of attrition and ramped-up performance management, with staffers now getting reviewed on a quarterly basis instead of every year."
...
What's interesting about these cuts is how quietly Mayer made them. What's impressive is how she's been able to maintain and increase employee morale, even as the cuts were underway.'

Xerox to Rochester: Drop Dead:
'The bottom line is this: Ursula Burns is exactly the sort of bottom-feeding CEO that her buddy Obama complains about. She has squeezed the profit, life and future out of Xerox. She has betrayed a community which just last month bent over backwards to give her the world on a platter.

And she has fired thousands of employees after pushing them to make profits in hopes of saving their jobs. As quarter after quarter has shown profits, she has cut more and more, punishing workers who have sacrificed to enrich her and the others at the top.'

Google Employees Reveal Their Favorite Perks Working For The Company:
'Employees who work for the search giant don't have to worry about much besides their work. Google says, "the array of benefits of perks aim to ensure that Googlers remain happy and healthy in all aspects of their lives."

Google provides its workers with a lot of perks, most are unheard of at the average 9-5 gig. Some former Googlers and a few that are still with the company listed their favorite benefits on answers site Quora.'

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google:
'Google was founded by Larry Page and Sergey Brin while they were Ph.D. students at Stanford University.'

I'm just sayin'. Although to be fair, neither Mayer nor Burns started the companies they've been "right-sizing", as it's euphamistically called. But all three companies are traded publicly.
