Penelope Trunk Fired From Yahoo! Finance
Posted by junger - 12/27/07 at 09:12:17 amHow to deal with getting fired (from Yahoo)
Wow. If there's any columnist out there today who doesn't deserve to be fired, it's Penelope Trunk.
But she's been canned from Yahoo! Finance, according to her blog, because her career-oriented columns lower the overall CPM of the finance-related articles on Yahoo.
While this is a legitimate excuse, it's not like there isn't money to be made in career advice advertising. People will pay for material if they know that they'll be getting something valuable in return. Penelope's columns deliver that.
Even though she's written her last column for Yahoo, at least she gets to go out with a promo for her blog and RSS feed.
(Yes, she is my friend on facebook.)
