Re:Verizon closes $4.5B acquisition of Yahoo, Marissa Mayer ... by wellboy on Tuesday June 13, 2017 @12:16PM (#14545908)
Because she made big PR how she will make yahoo new again and then did super tiny things thay changed the logo, made random acquisitions and removed remote workers, which will absolutely change a failing company.

I was expecting a new revolutionary product, a complete refocus of the company, such as Apple. She sure must have had this in her plan or she probably actually didn't.

Sounds to me like someone didn't know what they were doing instead of someone who really has a plan.

I think she approached it as trying to do what Ruth Porat is doing at Google. But maybe Yahoo needed more than putting finances in order.
