Careless or sign of something bigger perhaps, but reports indicate that Yahoo media and entertainment offerings face snags as several media group heads are leaving or choosing not to move to new Los Angeles-area offices.
CNN quotes the Wall Street Journal citing Yahoo! as saying that of the company’s eight media division general managers, three heading Yahoo! finance, sports, and movies and television units have decided to leave the Sunnyvale, Calif.-based company. Three other division heads have declined to relocate to Southern California from Silicon Valley and so are leaving their current posts, taking other jobs at the company, the Journal added.
This is not entirely surprising. I should point out that there is a distinct anti-Los Angeles bias among the San Francisco-area folk. Besides, having a job, and having to relocate for that job are two different issues.
