I think it would be smart for Yahoo to do things to attract talent, but Tumblr is probably the wrong company. Tumblr is adored by people with zero tech talent and is based in New York* . That being said, your comment has made me conflicted. MM has made a ton of insane acquisitions, but the net result is that I would actually now consider Yahoo as an employer. I suppose a series of decisions that I find stupid leading to a positive impression of Yahoo is simply cognitive dissonance that I must live with.
* I live in New York, thus don't mean this as slight.
- yuhong 13y agoThe acquisitions are not the only thing Marissa did.
- jcampbell1 13y agoThat is cryptic. What else are your referring to? Dismissing the remote employees, or free lunches, or something else?
- yuhong 13y agoThe free lunches, no longer requiring BlackBerries, and other things Marissa did to change the culture.
- jcampbell1 13y ago> other things Marissa did to change the culture. equally cryptic. Care to explain further? I am curious.
- mtrimpe 13y agoNot cryptic but vague, which I can imagine if he's an employee. If yuhong is indeed a Yahoo employee and could give an inside view in the changes Marissa is making, I'd love to read a blog post with more details on that. If he can make Marissa sign off on it, that would bode even better for Yahoo as an employer.
