Actually, a lot of smart people have returned or joined Yahoo lately, since Marissa took over. And they aren't in it for a 9-5. They support a lot of great open source work, which helps them get good people.

I've known people who've spent most of their entire careers in declining market companies. It's not necessarily a terrible place to work for everyone and at the end of the day it's a paycheck all the same.
If you work at declining companies like Yahoo, HP, etc you should already consider your job lost. Just show up for the paycheck while planning your next move. This has to be what >90% of people are doing as-is. People aren't that stupid... are they?
This is CERTAINLY not the last round of layoffs at Yahoo as it positions itself for sale. Same goes for every declining business in every industry in every country in every era of business history.
