I find it particularly interesting that Mayer goes to Yahoo from Google and straight away implements things that would surely make Google look like the better place to work at. At least for me (and I guess the HN audience type of people in general, judging from the comments on this topic so far). It's like a Trojan Horse that you can sell with a straight face as being tough on failure and driven for success and all that. Probably good for marketing and the chairholders to feel smug, will probably boost stocks... company will likely still fail.
