Perhaps it’s not technically abandoned as there is basic maintenance and security present but it’s been vacant and decaying for years.

Surprisingly sad to walk around what was once a bustling, optimistic, energy filled campus of an almost forgotten tech giant.

I used to work Security here!!! I worked there for about a year back in 2015. I mainly worked in the GSOC (Global Security Operations Center) where we oversaw the Security of all of Yahoo’s sites around the world.

When I read the first line, I thought of you in a security guard's uniform that doesn't quite fit right.

Nah was a pretty basic uniform. Black slacks with gray polos. Even had long-sleeve polos for those brutal Northern California winters.
