Yahoo! loses human capital

An article in the Guardian has noted that shares of Yahoo! fell more than 3 percent on Friday due to concerns over its engagement and retention of human capital.

"Three more executives leaving the company, low morale and impending restructuring have raised fresh worries about the future of the company after it chose to partner with Google instead of Microsoft."

Standard & Poor have noted:

"With human capital historically having been one of Yahoo's greatest assets, we see these developments as a material negative."

One more piece of evidence to add to the collection...
