Can't be worse than HP board

  Possibly. But this is a bad sign for Marissa Mayer, if the board is acting out-of-order like this her days are probably numbered, it's a sign of pretty strong dissent. Someone (or multiple someone's) is trying to force her hand.

    There are a lot of stories implying that she's lost a lot of confidence. C-levels/VPs, including those she brought on, leaving for reasons that include lack of direction. Low morale amongst employees which has resulted in outcries against managers. And then of course her strategic decisions have not yielded growth.

      After multiple CEOs in the last few years, it would be interesting to hear an impartial insider's analysis on what went wrong. Marissa Mayer came with decent creds, a sizable runway and support from both the board and employees alike (at least in the early days). Why is she unable to make any progress? Was it just a better support circle @ Google or just unlucky and bad decisions?
