Yahoo is like My Space. No one uses it.

Thanks for the info. Now go iron your shirt.

according to what that guy said, she did basically what an HR Manager is supposed to do, not a COO. Why if the other option sounded a much better choice in terms of profits, they didn´t choose him?

Marissa is not a restructuring specialist. Yahoo is not an easy fix.

[anon]

it's sad to see all these negative comments disregarding all of her hard work. read about her work ethic. she did not sleep her way to the top.

This is what happens when you hire someone just because she’s a woman.

See what happen to companies who banned wfh 😂 didn’t aged well in 2023

[reaper]

They made out like she was gonna turn yahoo into God or something I never forget the hype. Possibly one of the worst ceo's ever I mean she has such a boring dull personality with little credentials how we're they "blown" away?

[TheForeverfree]

Her story gives great incentive for young women and also to be their own leaders if they want to open a business.
