Another anonymous tipster writes:

Go to work early and it seem conference rooms all booked up and can’t find my manager. Layoffs at Yahoo today? Had a early meeting with Flickr and head of ads in NYC and mysterious no Flickr people show up. . . . odd for whole team to not show up to important regular meeting.

And a self-proclaimed employe of Yahoo Groups reports:

My team was just reduced by 22% Yahoo management are fools. How do they expect us to meet our 2011 goals now?

Bear in mind that these are anonymous tips and are nothing more than anecdotal at best. But they do suggest those layoffs may be starting. Yahoo won’t deny or confirm anything. A spokesperson sent me the following boilerplate statement:

Yahoo! is always evaluating expenses to align with the company’s financial goals. Beyond that, we don’t comment on rumors or speculation.

So are layoffs starting today or not? If you are a Yahoo employee and know more details about this one way or the other please comment below or contact us at tips@techcrunch.
