130, Marissa is missing the point of life. Yes, work is important but If she's working that many hours then she needs to know that we work to live a nice life but if all of life is taken over by work then what's the point. Also, her job as head of the company is to determine strategy and get the right people in place to execute the vision and guide the ship as needed. Micro managing can never work at a company with 1000's of people. If she worked that many hours, I suspect that was her problem. She lost the forest for the trees. Shame because it would have been great, if she could have made Yahoo the power house it once was.

Agreed. I haven't read too much of the work policies and changes she enacted but the only thing i remember really making her tenure significant was shutting down work from home jobs.

"What's the point" of life is a question for which nobody has a definitive answer. Hell, if you can answer that for just your own life you're miles ahead of most people. Some people aren't happy unless they have a project that consumes every waking moment, and she may be one. You never want a person like that in management at any level unless they understand how different they are from normal people.
