> A high profile "failure" like this also means she won't be able to get a job for awhile so you're compensating her for that. Pure speculation, but I highly doubt that someone as highly touted as Marissa Mayer will be out of job offers for quite some time. A lot of people will attribute the failure to turnaround Yahoo on Yahoo itself rather than on any of the reported shortcomings of the CEO. Certainly, I think the odds were stacked against her, but if the stories from various reports from inside sources and journalists over the last few years are true, I'd be cautious about absolving her responsibility from the eventual outcome.
