Never one to be conventional, the axing of 1,500 Yahoo’s on a Wednesday just makes it so that you get to have a 5 day bender instead of 2. The final tally at the Santa Monica-based Yahoo! Media group seems to be 45 and with all that empty space going up for lease.
Either way: drink half of your paycheck away. According to Yahoo! Maps, there are no less than 10 bars within a 10 mile radius of the Santa Monica campus — 100 according to Google Maps but that’s not important anymore.
The absolute best spot would be Bodega Wine Bar right down the street on 814 Broadway. The classy atmosphere makes the outta-work boozin’ all that much more enjoyable. Don’t bother thinking about working again until next year. Welcome to funemployment!
UPDATE: Both the current and fired Yahoos will be gathering at McCabe’s Bar and Grill around the block at 2455 Santa Monica Blvd. Be kind, buy them a round of drinks.
