The Day Marissa Mayer’s Honeymoon At Yahoo Ended (YHOO)
Nearly four thousand Yahoo employees sat and waited for Marissa Mayer to explain herself. It was around ten thirty on Thursday morning, November 7, 2013. Some of the employees, those in Yahoo’s Santa Monica and New York offices, sat at their desks watching a video feed on their computer monitors. At Yahoo’s headquarters in Sunnyvale, California, just off US 101 in the heart of Silicon Valley, almost two thousand employees sat in a huge cafeteria. The sunlit, windowed cafeteria was called URLs. It was named that because, when Yahoo was founded almost twenty years before, all it did was serve up URLs, website addresses.
