@mpouraryan her husband is worth $300 million. The family need not change its lifestyle even if she does lose her position.

It created a lot of animosity which goes contrary to what the free spirit of Silicon Valley. I would say she'd do just fine--with her fortune she can launch a hedge fund on her own.--and she won't leave exactly penniless.

Re: Verizon & AT&T With NFV
I would argue that the AOL acquisition is yet to work itself out as Yahoo (one of the last "independents) was gobbled up. One also needs to remember that Verizon is dealing with an increasingly mature market which is also an additional challenge.

@faryl I'm not sure if that's what made her particularly unpopular within the company, but she certainly garnered a lot of criticism on the outside. From Bloomberg:
'Mayer was widely criticized when she ended Yahoo's work-from-home policy in February 2013 because she felt employees "[needed] to be working side-by-side." Critics, including Branson, said that telecommuting typically improves productivity and that the flexibility to stay home occasionally could be the difference between a parent advancing in her career and having to quit.

I was under the impression she wasn't really well-liked there for
some reason.
Was she the one that wanted to cut back on working from home or something?

< It will be interesting to see whether Verizon will keep her or not. > @mpouraryan, my guess is not in the long term. I don't think they'll just fire her right away, though. They may try to transfer her to another position that would make her choose to leave.

Re: Verizon & AT&T With NFV
@mpouraryan, clearly those are the important questions and time will tell. However, given Verizon's success as a telecom in growing markets, and their successful acquisition of AOL, and their goal to go head-to-head with Facebook and Google, I would believe they will pull out all the stops to gain market share and become a leading player.

Re: Verizon & AT&T With NFV
They have a "base" to build upon--no question. The question is what would they do differently that what Yahoo tried to do--Yahoo had a communication partner (AT&T), tried its' hand at media (Yahoo News et. al) and tried to do "mobile" (tumblr..that I also have a blog at)--the question is--now what?

Re: Difference in confidence, taste, development, or philosophy?
It will be quite an epic battle--I still can't understand why AT&T did not go for it--because of the long-term relationship. Maybe they saw something Verizon didn't.
