Marissa didn't fuck anything up.
Yahoo was fucked up badly long before she got there.
She was the wrong person for the job, though. She brought nothing new or innovative to the table.
They needed a special talent to (possibly) save Yahoo, and she wasn't it.
Its as if youre only just now noticing just how far down this mutt is dragging the bar here.Quote:

does anyone have any idea how much mayer has made in her career up to this point? it's got to be a fraction of that.
According to this, a big chunk of it is incentive based, but she still made $42 mil last year. lolQuote:

Today Google is worth $531 Billion.
Yahoo is worth $33 Billion only because they have a big stake in Alibaba.com.
Most people stopped using Yahoo in 1999.
There is no guarantee that Google would have been managed as a subsidiary of Yahoo, so we don't know what a Yahoo-managed Google would currently be worth.Quote:

A lot of Yahoo haters out there, love to tear down Yahoo but they aren't in a bad position at all. I like how she is more of a risk taker as a CEO, especially with the addition of daily fantasy sports, a literal rake engine to add to their bottom lines. So many people are risk-averse and don't like to gamble, which she apparently isn't too afraid of. I like that about her leadership, and the fact she ventured into some gray markets to add to the bottom line. She isn't going anywhere, she's beautiful, sharp as a tac, and a calculated risk taker. I think she and Yahoo actually have lots more potential even.
In all seriousness, Druff, one doesn't need to mention how a CEO might be distracted by personal matters to level valid criticism at them for doing poorly. As this Forbes article demonstrates, this CEO's problem wasn't because she was wasting time focusing on having babies or posing for glamour shots, because those things don't take much time if someone has the appropriate insight into what needs to be done. She clearly didn't, as demonstrated by the actions she actually took.Quote:

And understanding that is why your comments about this female CEO having babies and doing glamour shots contributed to her poor performance is misogynistic. Because even if she hadn't had babies or done glamour shots, she would not have had the insight on what she needed to do when she first took over the reins at Yahoo. And that was to do a complete strategic reassessment of Yahoo's mission. Instead, given her lack of experience managing such a sea change in an established organization, she mostly implemented inconsequential tactical changes, while continuing to drive the Yahoo ship towards the rocks of market irrelevancy.
Muck Ficon... And the trolls of 'PFA'...
Waste no time starting to turn this back into a pile of shit. So who should I go off the rails on today Muck Ficon. Which beloved, 'PFA hero' should i fucking smash to pieces today, Muck Ficon???
Muck Ficon let me let you in on a little secret. So many think PFA is scumm, even in the 'poker world' (truth hurts sometimes bro). And so the fact that you try so hard to be 'cool' and fit in on this huge circle jerk of bottom feeders makes you look liek a total fuckin idiot. The SHARP play actually IS to go against you all's groove here, obviously. So you and the waanabees and haters, are literally the reason this place is thought of as a mess and a huge joke.
Now, some people thrive in them environments, others despise them, so not all is lost for you but you care a whole lot about things that don't matter. And by doing so you ask for all the misery I bring to you're types on this board. You're not cool. Don't fool yourself into thinking you look cool either, like you are some judge with your 'red and green reps', of what is good and bad or right and wrong. You are actually from what I see a blockhead Simpleton. And don't let your meaningfulness, in a place largely with a lack of meaning get lost on you.
Have a nice day Muck

Ya know, in case someone wanted to make an important public service announcement or the like.
One of the reasons threads get fucked up is because of you. You consistently troll everyone you have had a disagreement with in the past or you do not like and threads go south after that. Sad little man you are.Quote:

Agreed. I don't think anything is going to save Yahoo at this point. Didn't they just release some new version of Yahoo Messenger? Lol...yeah, that will fix everything.Quote:

I realize a childhood of pudding pops, pizza pockets, and second hand Newport inhalation disn't do much for your critical thinking, but it seems even you can put 2 and 2 together.
All this Google/Yahoo rhetoric is pretty funny considering Yahoo "stole" Mayer from Google in the first place. Google is where she originally made a name for herself.Quote:
