Former Yahoo Employee Challenges the Legality of Yahoo's Ranking System (nytimes.com)

whoever57 writes: A former employee of Yahoo is challenging Yahoo's performance review and termination process. The ranking system was introduced to Yahoo by Ms. Mayer on the recommendation of management consultants McKinsey & Co.. Gregory Anderson, an editor who oversaw Yahoo's autos, homes, shopping, small business and travel sites in Sunnyvale, Calif. is claiming that the ranking and termination process was flawed to the extent that the terminations were not based on performance and hence constitute mass layoffs, which require notice periods under both California and Federal law. He is also alleging gender discrimination, under which women were given preferential treatment over men in the hiring, promotions and layoff processes.

    I see the SJW mods are already out in full force, clutching their pearls at anyone pointing out the obvious and modding down anyone who dare challenges their delusions of reality.

    White males are not oppressed in western society for being white males. You only feel this way because you're taking the extremist elements of the left far too seriously.
