- MegaButts 10y ago> I doubt she would have taken the offer if it was conditional on Yahoo doing well. But that's the point. What motivation does she have to do a good job and actually care about the well-being of the company if she gets extraordinary sums of money no matter what?
- arachnids 10y agoIf she had turned Yahoo around, she would be making much more in equity.
- MegaButts 10y agoBut does she care? Clearly if someone negotiates to get paid no matter what, they're putting themselves before the company. And based on how she's acted as CEO, I don't see any reason to believe she cares about saving Yahoo!
