????本周二，卡羅爾?巴茨被解雇，結(jié)束了32個(gè)月的雅虎（Yahoo）首席執(zhí)行官生涯。昨天，《財(cái)富》雜志（Fortune）對(duì)巴茨進(jìn)行專訪，并隨后發(fā)布了一條爆炸性新聞。巴茨在采訪時(shí)對(duì)董事會(huì)成員大放厥詞，稱他們是“蠢蛋”，還說(shuō)自己“被公司利用了”。

????縱觀巴茨的職業(yè)生涯，她說(shuō)出這樣的話不足為奇。但即便是喜歡惹是生非的首席執(zhí)行官，都會(huì)在離職后的一段時(shí)間里將不滿藏在心底。這很大程度是因?yàn)榉琴H低（non-disparagement）條款的制約，只有管住嘴巴，才有可能保住豐厚的離職遣散金。

????所以很有必要弄清楚，雅虎是否已將槍口瞄準(zhǔn)了巴茨的黃金降落傘（指高管遣散金——譯注）。

????一位接近雅虎的消息人士向《財(cái)富》透露，巴茨的雇傭合同里確實(shí)有非貶低條款，現(xiàn)在，雅虎還有1,000萬(wàn)美元遣散費(fèi)尚未支付。

????此外，該消息人士認(rèn)為，因?yàn)榘痛膶?duì)《財(cái)富》的一些言論，她極有可能已經(jīng)違約。如果所謂言論不是指巴茨所說(shuō)的“被公司利用了”，那一定是她大罵董事會(huì)成員是“傻蛋”。如果真的走到這一步，此事很有可能會(huì)成為歷史上第一宗因?yàn)榱R人“蠢蛋”而損失天價(jià)財(cái)富的案例；當(dāng)然，反過(guò)來(lái)看，有人也因此省下了一大筆錢。

????[注：這篇報(bào)道的署名應(yīng)該是帕蒂?塞勒斯。不過(guò)她目前正在飛機(jī)上，只好由我代為發(fā)布。]

????Fortune today published an explosive interview with Carol Bartz, who on Tuesday was fired as Yahoo CEO after 32 months on the job. In it, she referred to her fellow board members as "doofuses," and said that they "f---ed me over."

????The language isn't surprising to anyone who has followed Bartz's career. But even colorful CEOs usually keep such thoughts to themselves in the days after termination, largely to protect lucrative payment packages that come with non-disparagement clauses attached.

????So there have been understandable questions as to whether Yahoo (YHOO) actually had tied a muzzle to Bartz's golden parachute.

????A source close to the company tells us that Bartz did indeed have a non-disparagement clause in her employment contract, on which there is still around $10 million outstanding.

????Moreover, the source suggests that Bartz likely violated that clause with some of her statements to Fortune. If not for the getting f--ked over part, then certainly for the doofuses part. In fact, this could go down as the first time in history that the term "doofus" has cost -- or made -- anyone a substantial amount of money.
