This story was written by Rafat Ali.
Yahoo's (NSDQ: YHOO) senior management exodus is picking up steaming by the minute: next to go is Brad Garlinghouse, the head of Yahoo's communications and communities group, and the author of the infamous "Peanut Butter Manifesto" is leaving the company, fed up with the current path the company is taking, we have confirmed. The news was first reported by Techcrunch. Also, not yet confirmed by us, but TC reports that Vish Makhijani, the SVP and GM of Search, is leaving to become the CEO of Yandex, the Russian search engine which is headed for a big IPO.
Our sources say any big reorg plans at Yahoo are still fluid, as the dust on any other senior execs staying or leaving has not yet settled.
