Serendipity 7,821 Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 In 2012, Yahoo's board hired Mayer, then one of Google's best-known executives, to turn the company around. Nearly four years later, it's becoming clear that her turnaround effort is failing. Mayer has invested lavishly in both engineering and media talent, but there's no sign that these investments are paying off in the form of higher revenue. And over the past year, Mayer's management of Yahoo the business has been overshadowed by an argument over whether Yahoo can distribute its Alibaba holdings to shareholders without paying billions of dollars in taxes on them. Things came to a head on Tuesday, when Yahoo released its quarterly financial results along with a new turnaround plan. Yahoo announced that it was laying off 1,700 workers and focusing on its most successful products — including its search engine and popular email service. But in the same press release, the chairman of Yahoo's board announced that the board is going to "engage on qualified strategic proposals" — that is, consider offers to sell the company. It's a humiliating announcement for Mayer, because it clearly signals that the board is losing patience with her turnaround efforts. And the looming possibility of a sale is going to make it all the more difficult for her to motivate Yahoo's remaining staff to work hard on her latest turnaround plan. http://www.vox.com/2016/2/1/10862040/yahoo-marissa-mayer-fail lemme take out my piggbank and see if I can buy it See talent here-->http://bit.ly/2eqeUxK Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Yahoo! owned tumblr for $1.1 billion since 2013 As much as many of their website users are not warm over Gaga or that their e-mail service sucks, I guess they can stay around for few things.
