Reminder: Marissa spent nearly a million dollars on a vanity book about her to be given to new employees.

To celebrate her one-year anniversary, her team sent a companywide memo, which technology reporter Kara Swisher, who runs the Web site All Things D with Walt Mossberg, got hold of. The memo encouraged employees to thank Mayer “for everything she’s done for Yahoo” by clicking on a link that read “yo/thxmarissa.” The messages (which ranged from “Thank you for epitomizing the values of a Yahoo superstar” to “Marissa, you rock” to “Best CEO I ever worked for”) were collected in a book that featured photos of Mayer—wearing a red shirt to address a sea of purple-shirted, mostly male engineers; conducting an interview with Barefoot Contessa food guru Ina Garten; and more. “Yahoo! thanks you, Marissa!” reads the spine of the book. Mayer then had copies of the book sent out.

this is amazing. how they managed to retain any employees with this kind of bullshit is mind boggling

If it's the book I'm thinking of and there actually weren't two vanity books, it cost them nearly a million bucks to develop and print. That's some weird cult poo poo right there.

When I was at a company in teh bay area I had to attend these quarterly risk all hands. A huge auditorium full of people. The CRO was okay, I've since been told she was incompetent, but whatever I never dealt with her. But during those meetings her whole team of sycophants was disgusting. They once made everyone sit through a 30 minute presentation celebrating her 5th year anniversary. It was a surprise her staff put together for her. It was the most kiss rear end thing I've ever seen in my entire life. Then she left to lead legal and all those kiss asses got replaced by the replacement CRO putting his own people in place (none got moved in to legal because they weren't lawyers).

We had a "get to know you" meeting with my director at the time, that turned into an hour of her telling us how great her kids and her school district was. Absolutely bizarre.

so is this "$20m in equity" in the form of yahoo stock or are they just going to let her start pulling copper out of the wall

She's taking the nursery next to her office with her. You know, the one Yahoo built after she banned parental leave.

I'm joking about her taking it with her, but that literally happened. She banned parental leave for new parents and then had the company build a nursery right next to her office for her child's use.

That's some gilded age poo poo right there.

hi welcome to yospos, i see youre new here, well you should know that a lot of goons have a creepy sexual fixation with yahoo ceo marissa mayer, they claim to be doing it ironically though so its not gross or creepy and certainly not hypociritical

This actually isn't true at all. It was one guy who took a dumb creepy gimmick too far and now everyone is mocking him. I'm sorry you're incapable of detecting sarcasm.
