Warren Buffett has few good things to say about
Yahoo! Inc. (NASDAQ: YHOO) and its business.Speaking on
CNBC's Squawk Box, Buffett said that Yahoo's business "deteriorated significantly" although the company did a great job in providing a live stream of
Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (NYSE: BRK.A) annual meeting.Buffett continued that Yahoo has made several acquisitions in recent history that "clearly" failed to turn around the company. He added that "something has to change" in its business practice to return to growth.Meanwhile, Yahoo's CEO Marissa Mayer
stands to receive $54.9 million as part of a severance package if she were to be terminated without cause.According to Buffett, Mayer's severance package may be "crazy" - although he acknowledged this is a general problem across corporate America. He added that as a shareholder of a company that offers departing executive members 8-figure packages, he would "get a little irritated with some of these good-bye kisses."
