If I were a Yahoo shareholder, I would throw a hissy fit.
Total lack of judgement on M. Mayer's part - whether it is lavishly spending money or the Queen-like outfit/pose/setting. I am sure it made Yahoo's employees day to have a picture with her </s>.
BTW, I am not saying companies should not have holiday parties - just exercise better judgement, in particular when they are in dire straits as Yahoo is.
- samfisher83 11y agoThe core business generates about a billion dollars in cash. They aren't in that dire straights.They might not be growing, but they aren't dying.
- tryitnow 11y agoIt's more about the "optics" as they say. A celebration of this sort is warranted when you're at the top of your game, not when you're a well-known mediocrity. And frankly speaking, a billion in cash is a lot less than one would expect from a top Internet brand. Relatively speaking, they are in dire straights.
