Marissa Mayer is three years into a restructuring, moving stuff around the board to no good effect, and now she is going to have twins? Give me a ******* break.

They are done, she was their last chance and she failed miserably.

@hawkeye10,

What does having children by a health female CEO have anything to do with Yahoo survivable?

@hawkeye10,

The really funny part of this post is that Yahoo went through a stream of really, really bad male managers. Mayer is the first one that has actually tried to save the company (and the stock price reflects she's had some success) as opposed to taking some money and running. Yet for some reason all those loser male managers are ignored because this is a lesson about female managers.

Interesting review of an interesting read: http://www.theguardian.com/books/2015/jan/05/marissa-mayer-and-fight-to-save-yahoo-review

Yahoo's chief marketing officer and head of media has left the company amid a report of a big shake-up brewing in Yahoo's media group. Kathy Savitt, who was one of Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer's first big hires three years ago, will become president of digital for the Hollywood studio STX Entertainment starting next month.

Savitt's exit comes as Yahoo's media unit is about to undergo a major shake-up, according to a report by Re/code. The news is the latest sign of turmoil at Yahoo, three years into a turnaround effort that has yet to show any real signs of success. And it comes as investors appear to be losing patience with Mayer's efforts to rebuild Yahoo into an internet power that might rival the likes of Google or Facebook.

The difference is that Mayer was given a blank check and the others were not, they were told to max cash flow to stakeholders as the business model failed, and she has been given 3.5 years to make Yahoo into what ever she wanted that makes money and has completely failed. Completely, no bright sides, nothing about to pop, nothing. Anybody else would have been gone by now. And now she puts having a baby above fixing Yahoo! **** that. The company has run out of time, they are toast, and so is Mayer. She should retire and do the mommy track.
