Give it a rest. Trumpeting your PC nonsense won't help you. You understood what he meant. Communication successful, despite your protest!
Marissa Meyer seems like a really bad CEO.
She's basically in the spot Fiorina was in - the ship is slowly taking on water for Schumpeterian life cycle reasons.
Then there is no seeming investment in the stuff Yahoo! is good at which is simply weird.
Wow, so many different news about the same tech company within a month and now this one too. They could not have pulled a better stunt to compete with what Apple and Google is doing in their keynote. http://gizmodo.com/7-of-yahoos-biggest-fuck-ups-1745729341 http://gizmodo.com/how-yahoo-totally-blew-it-on-security-178... http://gizmodo.com/heres-what-happened-to-all-of-marissa-may... http://gizmodo.com/yahoo-secretly…
You have to wonder if there is some sort of campaign to smear yahoo? The timing does seem strange, but perhaps it's simply because they are under so much scrutiny because of the eventual sale?

I don't deny that the situation must be analyzed carefully but going from "less than 20 percent female" to "more than 80 percent female" in less than 2 years leaves little room for doubt. Also this adds up to the undisclosed security breach and the fact that Yahoo secretly scanned emails for US Intel.. Not a very defensible behavior.
Going from less than 20 percent female to more than 80 percent female is being exactly as discriminatory , though. You should have been offended all along, right?

“..less than 20 percent female. Within a year and a half those top managers were more than 80 percent female,” Even if they were not deliberate about it, they must have talked about how this might be perceived by employees. As bad as this issue is, I think hiring friend/referral/former colleague, especially en mass is much bigger issue that's rarely talked about because it's not necessarily illegal. However, I cannot…
Just reading this brought back memories of working at LinkedIn, and why I'll never again work for a company who has institutional performance review processes. That pretty much excludes all big tech companies and I'm perfectly fine with that. The cookie-cutter performance review process is impersonal and has absolutely nothing to do with helping people do their best work. In my case, I had a manager who simply didn't…
I had one large company where performance was really one bit - ranking was on a scale of 1 to 5 and, as I was told, "nobody is a 5 and if you were a 1 or 2 you'd already have been sacked". So everyone was either a 3 (meeting expectations) or 4 (exceeding expectations in some areas). I did manage to persuade my line manager (the CIO) to give me a 5 on something but he then felt the need to mark me down somewhere else…

> Even if they were not deliberate about it Which is statistically close to impossible.
I'm deeply offended by this and personally I will cease to use Yahoo Mail. I urge any self-respecting males to stop using any of Yahoo services as a form of protest for this despicable act of discrimination. And I'm serious; too much is too much.

This whole thread is disturbing at a very basic level.
There’s a reason why people make tons of money playing the stock market against companies that artificially force gender, or racial equality. Practices like these are going to ruin your business the same way being sexist, or racist will. Either you hire the best person for the job, or you’ll be beaten by companies that do.
Do you have any examples of this? Many, if not most, large firms actively seek diversity.
