The fact of the matter is that none of us knows exactly happened that weekend, including whether it was really a weekend at all. But I think what offends so many people (myself, to a certain extent, included) is that this whole episode, as it has played out publicly, represents a certain obnoxiousness that so many of us have experienced -- executives that are in over their head inserting themselves into processes they have no business being part of, leading to results that are at best mediocre. Between Mayer's self-aggrandizing "'we' did it" post and the amateur hour "30 logos in 30 days" stunt, the situation resembles a farce. Marissa Mayer was supposed to be Yahoo's brilliant savior, so why is she playing the role of a stereotypical clueless CEO? These Onion stories in tandem seem appropriate here. http://www.theonion.com/articles/executive-creative-too,31024/ http://www.theonion.com/articles/executive-creative-too,3102... http://www.theonion.com/video/ceo-has-special-knack-for-recognizing-great-ideas,33677/ http://www.theonion.com/video/ceo-has-special-knack-for-reco...
