staff would around 600 employees). We heard that layoffs started taking place two weeks ago, particularly in the Yahoo Groups and Flickr product groups. Others have reported that layoffs would actually be starting around December 13th, which is approaching next week. But it looks like Yahoo may have already started to hand out pink slips, according to this Tweet from Yahoo senior software developer Zach Graves.

Graves writes, “The number of people carrying boxes out of Yahoo tonight is not surprising, nor the last of it.”

It’s unclear from his Tweet where these layoffs are taking place, but it’s just one of many reports that seem to confirm this. Of course, this report is anecdotal, but that fact that it is coming from a Yahoo employee (vs. an anonymous tip) does suggest that layoffs may have already started and are gradually being executed at the company.

We’ve contacted Yahoo for comment and will update the post when we receive a statement from the company.
