Yahoo CEO: No more working remote -- get to the office or quit

London is kind of like the Jags home away from home.

 

Don't worry. You're not going to get fired -- this week:

You’re not getting fired this week — feel better now?

That was the creepy message Yahoo! boss Marissa Mayer had for employees at a companywide meeting earlier this month, drawing nervous chuckles from workers who fear for their jobs, sources told The Post.

“She said there are going to be no layoffs ‘this week,’ and many of the employees laughed at her,” said one insider, who, fearing retribution, asked not to be named.

“This is the reason employee morale is so low,” the insider added, noting that most workers took the scary remark as twisted confirmation that Yahoo!’s embattled chief executive is sharpening the ax.

Mayer, who returned to her duties at the struggling Internet pioneer just a few weeks after giving birth to twins on Dec. 10, made the less-than-reassuring comment in response to a question at an internal “Friday FYI” meeting on Jan. 8, sources said.

Word of the gaffe has been “spreading like wildfire” through Silicon Valley, another insider said, calling it the latest example of a chronically tone-deaf CEO in a crisis.

This is one of those exceedingly rare times when I feel sorry for people who make at least twenty times what I do.

 

When is she going to be shown the door? It must be over a year I have been reading about how she was on the hot seat.

 

So ... not working from home wasn't the solution?

 

No layoffs this week...but next week....

Well sure!

When Mayer's finally ousted, her era will be the CEO equivalent of New Coke and Cop Rock.

 

Pencil her in for sixth in the 2024 Iowa caucus.

 

Bright side, they can all be home again!

 

Mayer, IMO, is bridge too far beyond Fiorina.

She's like the Buddy Bell of CEOs.

 

Yahoo is in trouble. Twitter snagged Thirsdsy Football streaming rights. Really hoped Snapchat or Instagram would have bought the rights.

 

I'm shocked Twitter beat out FB for the rights.

Hmmm. Maybe FB will own Twitter by then anyway.

Edit: Turns out FB backed out last week, making an announcement I did not see.

Meanwhile, Marisa paid $20 million to stream ONE game. Twitter pays $10 million to stream 10 games. She's a cracker, ain't she?
