Thank you for laying it out so well. I am a female executive and I am so sick of everyone saying that she's only getting criticized because she's female. So what, we can't get criticized if we do a horrible job? If we treat our employees unfairly? If we don't do what's best for our companies? She was a bad CEO and she deserved to be fired long ago.

> She was a bad CEO and she deserved to be fired log ago.

On what basis are you claiming that? Do you have any idea about how the other CEOs before her did?

Disclaimer: I worked at Yahoo for several CEOs, including Mayer. I think she was the best CEO at Yahoo in a long time. So please, enlighten me why my impression of her is incorrect.

She was a bad CEO by the measure of ALL CEOS, not just Yahoo:

These are all outsiders second-guessing and, in many cases, just making shit up.

I was there. I saw the sea change she brought into the company. Morale skyrocketed, after the company was just drifting around for years. Compared to Carol Bartz, she was a CEO extraordinaire.

Outsiders are often able to see much more clearly what's really going on with a dying organization.

Well, we should just listen to outsiders then, right? Who cares about what's happening internally when the outsiders see it all?

I remember reading Eric Jackson's screeds and he was clueless as hell.

I'm thinking I'm going to listen to the many, many outside experts, plus what I see myself reported by other insiders, vs. one anonymous insider I run across on a site who worked for her and appears to have bias.
