I'm sure someone more juiced in will chime in but the valley is really a battle over talent. A good measure of a company is if they are drawing in top talent and retaining it.
yahoo is not. If you remove the alibaba portion of their business there isn't much left that others don't do a much better job of providing. |

She took away work life balance benefits while building a nursery suite onto her office for her infant and nanny.
Sounds like a great boss. |

Not ready for prime time. She goes from a Google manager with a staff of 250 to trying to run a multi-billion dollar enterprise. That's like going from Captain to Major General with no steps in between. Nope, nope, nope.

Yahoo was dead before she came along. she turned the company around and I made a decent chunk of change off of it in the stock market. As with all new leaders there is an adjustment period and new ideas that fail. All it sounds like now is people are more willing to be vocal about the problems some of her ideas caused.
As for employees getting mad because bad employees were held accoutable...well it sounds like the firings haven't gone far enough. There are plenty of IT good people who would love to work there. Fire those who aren't pulling their weight. I believe one thing the employees were pissed about was when she took away working from home and made everyone come into the office and work a full shift. Oh the horrors!!! |

Honestly, when I read these kind of articles it just reinforces my my
thoughts that most of these executives make a shit ton of money and aren't really all that great at what they do. They certainly aren't the second coming like they are frequently made out to be. The article is probably biased but it sounds like she is shitty leader and out of touch (which describes probably a majority of people in her position). It just makes me think of the scene from Office Space:  |

As for the points made in the articles posted by OP, sometimes, experience is what counts. Like leadership experience.
Fresh ideas are cool, but "big idea" people need to be tempered by experience. Ideas are overrated, execution is where it's at in my experience. (from someone whose held leadership positions since 1994). |

This book about her sounds good. This excerpt from the NYT article made me laugh:
At F.Y.I.s, Mayer liked to tell employees that she believed in taking risks and that she was unafraid to admit failure. This philosophy worked well for web products but not for strategic hires. Despite the board’s urging, Mayer opted against vetting Henrique de Castro. As a result, she was unaware that de Castro had a poor reputation among his colleagues in Google’s advertising business. Many had derisively called him the Most Interesting Man in the World, in reference to the satirically fatuous spokesman for Dos Equis beer.  De Castro had a tendency to make grand, awkwardly worded pronouncements. He was the inspiration for the Twitter handle @HdCYouKnowMe, which posted tweets that straddled the line between reality and parody: "To incentivize the sales force, you need to hit them with the carrot” and "Product is like snakes .?.?. slippery — we need someone with a big hammer.” De Castro’s new Yahoo colleagues got a full dose of his strange locution at the company’s annual sales meeting, in early 2013, when he berated his sales force with a rangy, pedantic speech. (De Castro did not respond to requests for comment.) Within a year, Mayer had personally taken control of Yahoo’s ad team. De Castro would leave the company in January 2014. For about 15 months of work, he would be paid $109 million. |
