She'll never be considered for another CEO job after that.That comment probably cost Y! a lot of good current and potential employees. If Jerry had any balls at all he'd fire her on the spot for that. It will end up costing Y! a lot of money to restaff.

Exactly. Sue Decker is a fraud and should be fired. While she rammed through a large raise for herself as the new "President," the company was floundering without direction or accountability, and her bonus is guaranteed, unlike the rank and file. Disgusting.

Jerry deserves a lot of blame, but Sue deserves more. Jerry is a founder and can be expected to be emotional, but Sue is supposed to be the seasoned adult providing oversight. Yeah right!

Perhaps she's too distracted by losing half her ill-got millions in her divorce.

]]> <![CDATA[Decker: Yahoos upset over Microsoft are just tired and old]]> excellent leadership shown there Sue.

just insult the employees that don't share your personal agenda why don't you.

maybe if you pay them as much as yourself they wouldn't care about a floundering stock price.

]]> <![CDATA[Decker: Yahoos upset over Microsoft are just tired and old]]> The only clear, substantive thing Sue Decker has done in her career is successfully promote herself. That's what most politicians do. Why she's on Berkshire's and Costco's board is a mystery, but my bet is that it as something to do with having women represented on their respective boards and Decker's rising start fit the bill. Scratch the surface and you will find an empty suit. She's climbed her way up the ladder and now that she has clout, she's exposed herself for the fraud that she is. Now is the time true leadership comes in handy, so where is it? Yang is just a geeky engineer at heart, so I really don't blame him. Decker is the charlatan that feverishly promoted her own ascent, so it's high she either makes something happen or she should resign. $100 says she just shifts blame.

]]> <![CDATA[Decker: Yahoos upset over Microsoft are just tired and old]]> "Yahoos cheerleaders, where u at?" Keeping their mouths shut and focusing on executing?

Seriously - the VAST majority of Yahoos wanted nothing to do with Microsoft. The ones complaining about it (especially here, of all places) are wildly atypical.

]]> <![CDATA[Decker: Yahoos upset over Microsoft are just tired and old]]> Shows how out of touch with the common folk Decker and the rest of the "leadership" is. All of those 'tired and feeling late stages...' folks don't have enough stock or are so far underwater that a few bucks won't really matter anyhow.

They're upset because it's yet another strategically bereft move that makes no sense to anyone outside of the inner circle.

Leadership steps up and uses criticism to improve situations rather than name calling and pointing fingers at their critics. This is more indicative of executives who are fully vested in protecting the status quo and thus protecting their careers to further line their pockets.

]]> <![CDATA[Decker: Yahoos upset over Microsoft are just tired and old]]> Sue Decker is right! Anyone who was counting on Yahoo stock to help them through their doddering retirement is a total fool, and deserves the reaming they got when Jerry pulled his Howard Roarke ("I'd rather blow my building up than see it changed") act.

Young people are strong, money is replaceable, and it's vision that counts, not stupid material things like equity! Rock on, Sue!
