Not guilty.

How does one go about finding a CEO? If you’re Wal-Mart, you designate your heir like a Viking chief, picking the strongest of your children. If you’re Yahoo!, however, you put “Affirmative Action Hire†or “Easy, Breezy, Covergirl†in your third-rate search engine and hope for the best. What dubious specimen does the search engine spit out? One Marissa Mayer.

Don’t know who she is, so I just Googled her...which is a sign of Yahoo’s decline.
She’s an Obama bundler, so easy to understand he qualifications for the job.
Not sure I’ve seen a good woman tech ceo yet, frankly.
Her predecessor at Yahoo was Carol “Blowhart” Bartz who turned down the Microsoft offer to buy Yahoo.
A tech CEO is a woman? That’s preposterous!
The ultimate end of affirmative action.
Why not just hang a bunch of photos on the wall and throw darts at them to pick a winner?
Almost every person I know with a yahoo email has had their account hacked by spammers.
Can someone contact Laz, there are pics on the site and we need an opinion, guilty or not guilty.
Yes, I think you got that one correct.
I haven’t seen a good woman CEO, period.
Not guilty.
You don't need Laz , you need an eye doctor. Extremely not guilty.
Yahoo website has way too many articles about dead people. I think she is trying to be People magazine. Most of the articles are really ads. She ruined the look of the yahoo email layout. She also hired and paid Katie Couric nearly $20 million these last 3 years for articles anyone could do.
She got her start by sleeping with one of the google founders.
When they started throwing money at skirts at my job (while the rest of us were told we had to deal with belt-tightening), all of the men started working women’s hours - and there is nothing the company can do about it. I don’t make a lot of money, but I have never had such a high hourly wage since I stopped the unpaid overtime (as a “salaried” employee). I love getting up later, getting home earlier, napping during lunchtime, and being able to take my children to their sports practices and games. This is the closest I can come to “having it all”, and I’m never going back.
My boss hears my alarm go off when it is time to go, and can’t say a damned thing; if he wants to direct company resources to live entertainment instead of the real workers, so be it.
I stumbled onto this after noticing that Marissa Mayer is all over the news today for no reason. So now we’re supposed to celebrate women for being just kind of a meh CEO whose only real achievement is not completely crashing the company. Oh, and they’re underpaid for doing that, they should all be making Bill Gates/Steve Jobs money while running company from their Blackberry and flying between California and New York to attend cocktail parties.
I totally agree with your comment. It’s the same thing at my job. I’m a senior engineer, which is exactly where I want to be in life. Becoming a lead engineer or engineering supervisor means that you don’t get to do engineering anymore. The pay raise is like 5% in return for zero job satisfaction and dealing with a bunch of idiots with a business plan that I wouldn’t be caught dead with outside of work. No thanks. I used to be a company guy burning the midnight oil, now I’m just not that into you.
Since I don’t give a fat crap about being promoted, I get to act like one of the chicks at work. It’s very liberating. I cruise at the bell, I don’t take it home anymore, I work on what I feel like working on, I track my vacation time on a spreadsheet, and I’m not afraid of using said vacation time. Since they want tits instead of results, I’m giving them exactly what they asked for.
As God is my witness I also track my vacation on a spreadsheet - and I use every hour! A co-worker asked why I stopped pushing for more money, and my response was that in return for a few thousand dollars (just a few) they’d expect me to go back to living my life centered around the job. At this point it would be tens of thousands to get me back into that, and as they won’t come up with it I’m content to simply coast while accruing more vacation time every so many years and more towards my retirement benefits. I do enough so that I have an essential job (not threatened by layoffs), but if I’m not in the office I’m not “available”. I learned from young workers that out-of-office messages should indicate I have no (or very limited) access to email; my phone and computer are my own so I’m not “on call” with company hardware (and my cellphone number is my own - not for work). The older women I work with don’t even bother leaving out-of-office messages; they rake in the bucks with jobs that aren’t even demanding enough to require them.
Oddly enough, our new lib governor here in NJ just signed an “equal pay” law that reinforces my position; while it is supposed to protect “women and minorities”, the fact is that companies have already bent over backwards to throw money at them (to fend off lawsuits) - now the evil white guys will have the grounds to sue under this new law. As the older white guys retire they are being replaced with pairs of tokens, each getting more than the retiree ever earned; this further protects me from any expectations of extra effort. I’ve also noticed the competent women distance themselves from the tokens and more readily move on to other companies, since they know they are being paid the same as well-paid window-dressing tokens.
My kids are ageing out of the sports mentioned in my post from 2 years ago, but nobody at my job would know it. I also learned from the childless old maids that parents are just as good for excuses as to why you can’t be in on a particular day (so as the kids move on I’ll still have plan B).
