Flickr Hit by April 2009 Yahoo Layoffs
April 28, 2009 – 9:08 pmLooks like Flickr got hit, including several engineers from the Flickr team who have decided to quit too. It’s likely that in addition to a lot of key people that have already left (or were laid off) from Flickr, there will be more layoffs of more senior people, including people at the director level.
Yahoo’s company line, of course is to deny that cuts were targeted at Flickr (seeing that they are laying off 600+, it actually makes sense that they are cutting staff all over the place). For example, they also killed GeoCities.
