    Employees of Yahoo! who make sure things are going right

    The Yahoo Answers Team are employees of Yahoo. They are paid, just like other Yahoo employees, despite other answers to the contrary. Many of us have volunteered to 'help' and been refused. Only one person I know of 'crossed-over' from a user to a Team Member -- and she did that by becoming a Yahoo employee, hired like any of their other employees. And despite other postings, employees do work out of Sunnyvale, California and there are more than one of them. They had a party out there in 2006 for the first YA birthday and many folks got to meet & greet with the staff members at that time.

    As for applying, this is the link to the Yahoo Careers site:
