She is such a clown.

It's interesting how women fail badly at running tech companies but do a decent job running f500 defense contractors.

You can't blame sexism because it isn't like defense firms and the defense community is totally women friendly. [/quote]

Interesting to read the articles.  She was going to lay people off, she was just going to do it slowly over time but for a company like Yahoo that wasn't going to work because they just couldn't afford it. She should have followed the advice of the Board and reduced staff right at the outset by 50% or more.

Then she could have limped along and decided which products and which strategy she was going to focus on and then go full tilt.

Yahoo was never going to recover to their glory days - well I shouldn't say never because look at Apple after all -but they had a chance to eek out something new and become a stand out.  They still could but they need to shrink way down on their  their products and refocus only on the very specifics that people still use and then go from there.  Of course, they would have had to shrink the staff again as well.

She never had a plan. She had a good slogan, a good campaign. But it was obvious from the get go she really had no idea what to do.  [/quote]
