Free Tacos and Job Applications Outside Yahoo Headquarters Today
Today was the rumored layoff date for 1,500 Yahoo employees. While packing up desk accessories, these recruitable folks probably weren't in the best of moods, but at least they'll have free tacos awaiting them outside the Sunnyvale, California offices. And more important, long-term at least, job applications.
Video chat startup TokBox (which raised $10 million in August) will be feeding the laid-off today, in an attempt to also fill five jobs. The odds of getting a taco and a job aren't good, but the odds of getting a taco alone are.

Well if you -have- to be fired, that's quite the way to go.

Actually, that's a pretty excellent idea.
I mean, if you were a startup and were seeking talent and a larger company was dumping a lot of their talent, it'd be smart to camp outside their offices and try to recruit. Sure, they are probably dumping some people that weren't performing, but I'm sure there's a lot of capable people that are looking for new jobs. Attract them with free food.
