> bashing Marissa here would be really, really pointless and sad.

She took on the job, promised results, and demanded (and got) enormous compensation. Part and parcel of that is accepting responsibility for failure.

Keep in mind that if she had turned Yahoo around, she would have gotten the credit.

Walter exactly right. Not even Marissa feels sorry for Marissa given the payout she has received. A couple of hundred million dollars heals a lot of hurt feeelings.
