It's a couple of things from what I've seen: A) That she was paid so much money. A lot of people could have "not succeeded" for a lot less than what they paid her. B) Her attitude. I have never dealt with her, and am only basing this on what I've read: She seemed to push a lot of bad policies, that made employees upset, with the attitude of "All of this pain is for the Great Reward of turning Yahoo around." Yet at the end of the day, it seems that their sacrifices were for nothing. She talked big, but never delivered, and is making out quite successfully, for failing. Meanwhile the real brunt and struggle was pushed onto the employees. EDIT: I also think this resonates with a lot of people, as most of us have had similar execs. "No, we can't afford another server, you'll just have to work harder. Guess you'll just have to work through the night! Oops, it's 5 p.m., time for me to head out to my company-paid steak dinner, in my company-paid car, then time to head home to my company-paid apartment!" |
Yes, they built something. Still.
