Yahoo is in the middle of the pack, only because there are much stranger places to work. Ebay (excluding Paypal) is unfortunately the butt of all jokes. Just say “train”, and the Valley engineer will chuckle. Train you ask?</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://davidkellogg.com/blog/2007/06/23/management-hierarchy-in-silicon-valley/"><P><A href="http://terrychay.com/blog/article/over-the-top-statement.shtml">Terry Chay</A> made an interesting point about Yahoo management. It appears the Yahoo techie has it bad. But the Yahoo engineer looks down on the Ebay manager. The Ebay manager only belittles the Ebay engineer, but that’s the end of the line. There is nothing lower than an Ebay engineer. I’m not talking talent. That’s just the way the world is.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://davidkellogg.com/blog/2007/06/23/management-hierarchy-in-silicon-valley/"><P>Ebay makes gobs of money. God bless them. Making money covers up all sorts of engineering and managerial problems. Google is a good example. Internally Google is a mess, but they have two products that work. That raises its managers’ score. </P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/6D8619EE-8DF0-45EF-9F19-0E7059152616/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
