Yahoo employees thought they were safe from Marissa Mayer's layoffs after last month. They were wrong.

That day, somewhere between 100 and 200 employees lost their jobs in a layoff management described as an organizational realignment.
After the day was over, the rest of Yahoo's employees thought their jobs were safe.
Many of them were wrong.
Since that day in February, the group firings at Yahoo have continued at a steady, almost weekly pace.
There were more just this week, sources close to Yahoo employees tell us.
One source says teams were cut in Yahoo's Sunnyvale, New York, and Burbank offices. Another source says that, unlike in the first round of cuts a month ago, Yahoo let go of some engineers this time.
"She's been laying people off every Wednesday," says a source who was just let go.
"I got let go last Wednesday along with about 10 people in my group (search). The week prior, I had coworkers in the homepage team get let go - again on a Wednesday."
"The word is that she's purposely going for small layoffs each week between different groups so as to keep it low key."

In January, Yahoo announced that it would spin off its stake in Alibaba into a new company. Perhaps Mayer is trying to get the core Yahoo business into a better cost-structure before that deal finalizes in September.
We reached out to Yahoo for comment on this story and have not gotten a response in over 24 hours.
We'd like to keep hearing from Yahoo employees. They should email nicholas@businessinsider.com.
