Human Resources Is Coming to Get You

Scott Thompson

It's a shake-up that's still reverberating through the business world: Thompson, 54, of Yahoo has lost his chief executive's position at Yahoo while also reportedly telling the board he's been diagnosed with thyroid cancer. Thompson apologized to employees of the troubled Internet company last week and has been replaced at Yahoo, on an interim basis, by Ross Levinsohn, who was formerly Yahoo's executive vice president of the Americas region.
