I look at this latest story and think about it in context when Yahoo switched their employees to iPhones and Androids, which was well received as I understand it. Other perks put in place also helped boost the morale of the rank-and-file a little bit. But it appears she thinks about morale and vibe as quantifiable, something that can be managed relative to the available morale quotient that she can tap.
If this is part of an overall strategy, Mayer looks like someone who only knows how to manage things on paper using spreadsheets. I'm sure she's trying to replicate many of the successful approaches she took at Google, but Google and Yahoo are not the same.
This nursery story just adds to my impression of her that she's tone-deaf to how her actions affect the organization.
