What’s marissa doing these days after running yahoo into the ground? Somewhere else satisfying a quota?
- zrth 5y agoWhat a misogynist comment: What makes you say that Mayer got hired for being female?
- refenestrator 5y agoThey did play it up quite a bit, I remember being annoyed at the stories of how tough she was with her in-office daycare and support staff for her newborn while other non-celebrity women I know had to order their whole lives around a pumping schedule.
- zrth 5y agoHow does you being annoyed by the reporting on a CEO's daycare situation, let us deduce that this CEO was not hired based on merit?
- gremloni 5y agoShe didn’t compete. She was a placement pick coming from google where she was essentially a non contributing member of the google adwords leadership team.
- refenestrator 5y agoSorry, I wasn't trying to imply that. I don't think she was a diversity checkbox so much as a 'small world in silicon valley' unmeritorious hire, with the diversity checkbox as maybe a small plus.
- danielmarkbruce 5y agoYahoo was in all kinds of trouble when she took over. I'd argue she made a stupid mistake taking the job, not that they made a stupid mistake choosing her (whatever the motivation).
- effingwewt 5y agoIf it was on a downward trajectory she pointed the nose straight down and went full throttle. I still remember how mad my then wife was about the childcare fiasco.
