One of Mayer's focus areas is to improve the morale of Yahoo.
She has created for her official employees the same standards in Silicon Valley as free meals as well as free mobile phone offers. She also has a meticulous plan for the Christmas party. A few weeks ago, she gave some 80 Yahoo executives a vacation at the Ritz Carlton - a luxury place in the Half Moon Bay.
Thanks to Mayer, Yahoo's product development has also taken a new leap. After a few short years, the company finally launched a new version of Flickr on the phone earlier this month. In this release, the manufacturer also pushed the new Yahoo Mail and home page on four platforms.
Meanwhile, thanks to the acquisition of a large number of shares, Yahoo stock price rose significantly.
So why may Mrs. Mayer's rate go down? We have three theories that:
97% is too high. This rate has to be reduced a bit. Finally Mayer has not really brought Yahoo back. Mayer knows that Yahoo needs to cut costs, and that means firing employees. But people have been told that she will not lay off too many employees for a while, which will sack one by one. That has a huge impact on employees' morale because they do not know when they will be fired or whether they are the next one to be fired. Mayer is quite tough with the leaders she wants to dismiss from the company, and when they leave, she will not give them any big compensation. Last week, she fired the former CEO of one of the companies that had been bought by Yahoo, just days before he received a big bonus. Maybe this action caused her to lose points in front of many employees. This action has caused much adversity for her.
Looking at the whole picture, 80% of the support staff rate is still a good number that Mayer achieved compared to the previous CEO of Yahoo.
CEO Scott Thompson achieved 48% support when he started. Carol Bartz, 54% and Ross Levinsohn only 76%, close to Mayer's.
