Morse, who joined Yahoo in 2009, served as the company's
interim CEO for five months from September 2011 to January
2012 after the firing of Carol Bartz and before the hiring of
Scott Thompson. His five months as interim CEO turned out to

constituency. He, our honourable minister, is there for us.”
If you forget the clumsiness of the phrasing, it might well
remind you of the biting irony of Mark Antony's funeral
oration for Caesar. When Shakespeare repeated the lines,
“Brutus is an honourable man”, the sarcasm wasn’t
missed.Here are five common causes which lead to a bloated
