I'm a little sad that Marissa seemingly doesn't seem to get incentives. Your people are probably not coming in likely because the company is not providing a positive environment. To speculate after a number of set of layoffs, getting mediocre raises with no correlation to effort, cutbacks on everything, no upward mobility, etc etc you end up with a bunch of employees that got gouged too many times. (Ive never worked at Yahoo but worked at a couple of companies that are where they are now so this is my own guess). The problem for an employee in this sort of environment is that in a low morale workplace you will end up being basically abused and taken advantage of if you show up with a smile on your face ready to tackle the company's issues. So what's the dumbest (and easiest) thing for a manager to do when morale sucks... try to force you to be happy and productive which is essentially what Marissa is going to do just like any other clueless CEO. IMHO she should have handled this very differently. If you want people to show up give them a reason to or just fire them - you cant make an already demoralized person happy again by taking away an incentive to stay with you.
