The problem with this is: this means MM is a very good executive regarding technical details, daily operations and the like. However, she wasn't hired to be HR or COO. She was hired to be CEO, in a company that faced deep existential challenges in a market that was rapidly making its products irrelevant. When she took over, I wasn't sure what value Yahoo really provided other than a "yet another portal and email provider" type of thing, far from being a peer of FB and Google that it aspired to be. The company needed to execute a pivot of epic proportions and in this, we have heard very little. And maybe there were some projects in their skunk works that may yet get written about, which never saw the light of day.
Morale of the troops? great. Making employees' lives better? great. But it doesn't mean squat if your company still doesn't have a viable product at the end of the day...
