Bangalore: It was pretty quick. After just four months at Yahoo, Scott Thompson follows the same path of Carol Bartz, who got fired in September 2011.

The drama started when Third Point, a Yahoo shareholder accused Yahoo Chief Scott Thompson of faking his resume. Everything went so fast from then. He was forced to step down, followed his revelation to the board members about his thyroid cancer and later, Yahoo’s decision not to pay him the severance package.
