I find it hard to parse "not expected to join Verizon" against Mayer's explicit statement that "For me personally, I’m planning to stay. I love Yahoo, and I believe in all of you. It’s important to me to see Yahoo into its next chapter":

She can "plan to stay" all she wants. If she's forced out, then the best-laid plans are for naught.

Unless there's still a Yahoo (with the patents, Alibaba stake, and whatever else is left over), which in that case she could technically stay. I'd imagine most of that is going onto the block too.

AIUI Verizon is buying the brand, so although there'll be corporate continuity from today's Yahoo! to Lucky Internet Investments Inc. (or whatever the China/Japan/patents vehicle is called), "staying at Yahoo" means "moving to Verizon".

I believe it's "#1 Lucky Internet Investments Inc." Also that's racist.

Had genuinely not thought of that angle: I simply meant they were lucky investments.

Well, when she says she plans to 'stay', does she mean she's going to Verizon or staying with what's left of the original company (alibaba, etc)
