186 million dollar golden parachute for being an utter failure.
I guess we have achieved gender parity now - women can also get totally undeserved rewards for their performance in the c-suite.
Does it matter that Yahoo management declined to have the usual conference call with investors after it announced its third-quarter earnings today?
Well, yes, because it means everyone is getting zero information from CEO Marissa Mayer about what gives with the massive hacking of 500 million accounts it suffered last year.

Agree. She is a show pony.
Sucks that people might think women can't lead profitable companies because of these jokers.

On the plus side, women in tech have matched men in terms of pay for failure:
"Despite a lack of growth in the core business, the board has continued to approve higher pay packages for Ms. Mayer. Her compensation totaled $42 million in 2014, a 69% increase from previous years. Her high pay has been flagged by U.S. proxy-advisory firm Institutional Shareholder Services, which said earlier this year that “shareholders should continue to closely monitor the company’s pay programs and in particular, the magnitude of CEO pay.”"
Why did the board approve such a large increase?

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.
