Fun fact: she left Yahoo citing the staggering incompetence of management and development teams. She was brought in to salvage Yahoo and they proceeded to ignore her and belittle her every chance she got.

Sounds pretty classic. Bring in a woman to save the day, ignore her and continue to fuck it up. Then try to lay the blame on her when it fails.

We learnt about this concept in class, it’s called The Glass Precipice, also sometimes known as The Glass Cliff. 

Women are often promoted in failing companies or risky CEO positions, that way, when something fails, they receive the blame. In these positions, they are often not listened to, belittled, and ignored, They also face more media attention for their failures than male counterparts.
