It's true that they could theoretically fire everyone, but practically speaking? They inherit the employees, culture, customers, vendors, and physical plant. It's (remotely) possible that Marissa Meyer is the world's best CEO, but she chose to play against a stacked deck when she went to Yahoo.
- throwaway_xx9 10y agoNo, paying $1.1 billion for Tumblr, a bankrupt company with a 20-something founder, then not monetizing it, makes Meyer one of the worst CEOs in corporate history.
- marcosdumay 10y agoEvery new CEO in a big company seems to decimate the employees anyway. Why none fires the right 10%? Yes, you have a point, but getting on a failing company and failing does not reflect as bad as succeeding on such a company would look good. The only negative contribution Yahoo gave to Marissa Meyer CV was that badly managed data leak that is making every news.
