Because that person has knowledge of trade secrets, internal processes, vendor relationships, future product plans, etc. Sure, they might be shit at leading a company, but what they know could be extremely valuable to a competitor.
That's what NDAs are for. A hiring company risks being sued if it allows a new hire to use secret information from a prior employer.
The fact that non-compete agreements are not enforcible is a significant part of the reason for Silicon Valley's success in building new businesses.
From what I can see, it's not so much that Mayer has made a bunch of bad decisions, but rather that she hasn't made any decisions at all. Well before she took over, everyone knew that Yahoo was in trouble and that their status quo wasn't tenable. So she was fully expected to come in and make sweeping and disruptive changes, hopefully thereby saving the company.
She has spent money on buying a bunch of small companies that were too small to have an impact on Yahoo. Perhaps she should have bought Netflix when she was first appointed.
For example, the guy who used to run the division of the (huge) company that I work in ended his tenure, and had a contract that basically said "when you leave here, you can't work in this industry again for at least 10 years"
1. Such agreements are not enforcible in California.
2. Why would a company care about someone who wasn't successful as CEO running another company?
NDAs are enforcible and any company that hires a senior exec risks being sued over trade secrets.
Uber's legal team first outlined this identity in a filing with the California Public Utilities Commission in 2012: "Uber is a technology company that licenses the Uber App to transportation service providers. The transportation service providers pay a fee to Uber to use its software technology; the passenger of the transportation service provider pays the transportation service provider for transportation services received.
That's an outright lie. Uber collects the fares and pays the driver, after collecting its cut.
With the present US healthcare, quite a few people still can't afford insurance, even with government subsidizes, and worse are penalized for it.
I would be willing to bet that many of those people live in Republican-controlled states (especially those that refused to extend Medicaid) and either don't vote, or keep voting for "lower taxes".
California provides free healthcare for those with low or no incomes
Also, my policy carries a $5,000 medical liability in case any passengers are injured during an accident.
$5,000 for medical costs? LOL! $5,000 will be spent getting an ambulance out and getting one person into an emergency room. Emergency treatment? That's going to run an order of magnitude more.
You've never seen the graphs, the charts,the data that comes from this site. It's astounding to watch, I used to have a TV showing all the traffic coming from various countries and it was like watching Thermonuclear Warfare in action.
Given that even within the company, the exact nature of the back end which "captured" the raw data was kept very secret, how do you know that you were looking at actual data and not just something that was made up?
Not necessarily. If the company declares bankruptcy, the employees become first in line for unpaid pay. But if the company has no assets, then you can't get blood from a stone.
I don't know about the USA, but in the UK, I think that would constitute "trading while insolvent", and the company directors could be personally liable for the debts.
Those sources say the company's investors have told employees that they can show up for work on Monday but that there is no guarantee they will get paid if they do.
If combat were purely a dick-waving contest (war is to a certain degree, but I'm talking about actual tactical combat), then this might be true. However, combat is about winning, as quickly, efficiently and safely as possible. Very Art Of War-esque
That is just DNS and configuration. No SAN cert is really needed.
Perhaps it depends on exactly how the Exchange server is configured behind a firewall. Why else would anyone have ever needed a SAN certificate with a non-registered name?
have help desk staff to help people configure their mobiles, etc
Setting up mobiles: Yes, with Exchange, in my experience it's necessary to go through the process several times, because, for whatever reason, it will fail, fail again and then eventually work.
Furthermore, outsourcing e-mail typically gives you mobile device management
Exchange provides remote wipe capability for connected mobile devices.
Bernie would tell the cable industry to go *bleep* themselves but he's got a snowball's chance in hell of getting the nomination.
* According to mainstream media, who have been studiously ignoring him to help their chosen candidate (Clinton). In fact, he has a very real chance of winning the nomination.
But the cablecos just made the Cablecards a pita to install (some requiring a technician to come out to your house to install a simple card)
When I got a cablecard, it took a technician to get it working. But really, the reason is either deliberate or accidental stupidity within Comcast. I had got the cable card set up so that some channels were working, but not others. The technician didn't do anything special. He get here, replaced some working cables and then got on the phone to someone who set up the cable card remotely. Why did it take a technician here to get those other channels working when all he really did was phone someone back at Comcast?
When I turn it OFF, it should go OFF. Always wondered if the CC was using my boxes as Wireless access points, without my knowledge.
Comcast keep writing to me, telling me that I need to get a new cable modem. I don't. It's just that they want to use my cable modem as an access point. Perhaps if I paid for greater speeds, I might need a new modem, but if that day arises, I will buy my own.

I don't think so. I believe that they are not enforcible, even if the company offers to continue payment.

What payment processor sets the price? What payment processor sets the terms of service between the two parties?

Yes, but what's their remedy? Sue for minimum wage?
It's great to be a CEO: get paid millions, then use the company's money to bring in consultants to do your own work!

Isn't that illegal?
If it is so simple to go that much faster, why don't the others just switch to a higher gear?

Red Hat will back port fixes, just like they do with many, many packages.
George S Patton expressed this very well:

No it isn't. Just forward a few ports and you are done.
Outlook is more of an issue because the certificate handling between Outlook/Exchange is broken now that you cannot get SAN certificates.

And locked yourself into cable service. I bought a Tivo that can also receive OTA broadcasts.
