Can Yahoo get its money back from its current CEO? Or did they really pay someone to run this ship aground?

At the time when they were looking, I wrote Jerry an open letter about what I thought could be done. Sure I'm a nobody, but none of the ideas were even, through the chances of good business, implemented. Instead there was a fancy rebranding, and a targeting of women's lifestyle channels. And now this.

I'm glad we have a competitive economy, or else I could imagine Yahoo becoming the service that sucked, but that everyone still used.

The ship has been grounded for a lot longer than the last 3 CEOs have been around. they should have scuttled it and sold it off for parts a very long time ago.
true.
Shareholders are represented by board, board hired Mayer. If they think she did a bad job then they made a poor choice.
True.
