New York: Yahoo CEO Scott Thompson told company workers that he felt sorry for the ‘resume-gate’. But he is not going to step down.
He said, “I want you to know how deeply I regret how this issue has affected the company and all of you,” Thompson said in a memo. “We have all been working very hard to move the company forward, and this has had the opposite effect. For that, I take full responsibility, and I want to apologize to you.”
The scandal erupted late last week, when activist shareholder group Third Point first alleged that Thompson lied about his college degree. Thompson’s published bios have claimed that he has a Bachelor’s degree in both accounting and computer science from Stonehill College. But he has not go computer science degree.
Yahoo said that it had incorrectly stated Thompson’s academic credentials, claiming the mistake was an “inadvertent error.”
