Marissa Mayhem is not lookin good in the IT press.

Seems she butted heads w/ Yahoo's prestigious design chief & senior VP, Tim Parsey, who left the co. after only 2 yrs.

Abt 6 mos after he left, the email collapse started.

“Or maybe the markets have it right and Yahoo's business is hopeless," wrote Bloomberg Website’s Matthew Klein.
' valuing the company's flagship U.S.-based Web portal business as literally worth "less than nothing." '

Tim Parsey, Yahoo’s design boss, leaves the company; he was hired in early 2011.
.
As Senior VP of User Experience Design at Yahoo, “he was part of a range of redesigns of its major properties, including its homepage, Flickr photo-sharing site, email and more.”
.
He has major cred in IT design having run Apple’s design studio for 5 yrs, worked in Microsoft’s entertainment & devices div, and was at Motorola.
.
“It’s not clear why he’s leaving…but amid a lot of Yahoo turmoil since he arrived, Parsey certainly stabilized the design culture.”
.
“Also in play according to numerous sources, Yahoo’s new CEO Marissa Mayer has a very ‘hands-on’ style with regard to design.
.
“— she pretty much considers herself the last and only stop on that train, among others, based on her experience at Google running a number of products…
.
“No surprise, then, she has involved herself strongly in the design process.”
