Perhaps it's unfair to lump these two CEO changes together, but they happened around the same time - Yahoo CEO Jerry Yang announced he was stepping down, and Symantec CEO John Thompson announced he is retiring as well.
These are very different announcements - Yang has been under a lot of pressure for his resistance to Microsoft's buyout offer, which is looking pretty good to shareholders in hindsight. No successor has yet been named.
Meanwhile, Thompson is retiring at the age of 59, and COO Enrique Salem has already been tapped for the president and CEO spot.
