The Marissa Mayer one is the one that really stands out to me. A lot of people seem to think that she was brought in to save Yahoo; no one on the inside was thinking that. Everyone understood that Yahoo was hopeless and they were headed for a sudden collapse. Mayer was brought in to rescue whatever shareholder value she could and as long as shareholders got something back they would be willing to split some of it with her.

- yeukhon 10y agoInteresting. But I think she might have a different agenda wven if she did have such verbal mutual understanding with the board. For someone like her becoming CEO becoming a savior is important. She probably eventually pushed her technical agenda wanted to save the company and make profits so she can stay there long.
