How It Feels to Be Fired Carol Bartz-Style: “Amazing”
A few weeks ago, BoomTown got a rather compelling email from Marion Vermazen, who once worked at Sun Microsystems with new Yahoo CEO Carol Bartz–and where Bartz actually fired Vermazen.

In other words, a kinder, classier Donald Trump “Apprentice” style, but without the cameras and bad hair.
It’s instructive now, given that Bartz is likely to have to give several big Yahoo execs the heave-ho in the days ahead as she unveils her new management structure soon.
