Yang vs. Ballmer: The Optimists Edition
I'm on record saying that Yahoo and Microsoft would both be better off if their respective CEOs found non-company-related things to do with their time, but I was still interested to see this chart from the new Glassdoor.com service. It essentially drives corporate transparency, allowing you to glean salaries, managerial quality, etc., all via people who work there.
It's a nice idea -- call it a PG and more quantitative version of FuckedCompany.com -- and I'm at least intrigued. While waiting to see how Glassdoor progresses, here is one piece of data the company has extracted to demonstrate its efficacy: A comparison of employee ratings of Yahoo's Yang and Microsoft's Ballmer.
My conclusion: Both companies' employees are delusional.
