This guy is an idiot. People at Yahoo that do not determine policy may not be at liberty to simply quit their positions. They'll have dependents, mortgages and other long running commitments.
To make blanket statements like this - especially as a CEO - is dumb, plain and simple. I have never used a Yahoo product and I disagree with a lot of things they've done in the past couple of years. But I'd never hold working at some other company during whatever period in their life-cycle against a former employee.
Yes, Yahoo! made a dick move. But that does not mean that everybody working at Yahoo! should be penalized like this.
