I wonder if all this negative attention would be focused on Mayer if she were a man. Me thinks not.

Hey Owen, did Marissa Mayer shoot you down at a cocktail party once or something? Your posts about her are shaming, but also stalkish ... creepy ...

@nosyparker: We love Marissa Mayer here! We're just perplexed that so few people adore her the way we do.

Wow. That Anne sure comes across as one whiny, entitled bitch. I'm going to guess she's in her mid- to late-twenties?

Listen up, millennials: If the way you deal with your bosses not thinking you're as awesome as your Mom and Dad tell you you are is by passive-aggressively blogging about it, then you should find a new career. I hear they're hiring down at the reiki and holistic health center.

Four hours since your last Marissa Mayer story I see. It must be hard to hold out that long.

I've given up caring about people's feelings at work. I'm not being paid to be sensitive, I'm being paid to develop a product.

Don't take lack of sensitivity in the workplace personally. These aren't you're friends, they're your coworkers (which you didn't seem to; if not gaining influence is a problem for you, perhaps because you want to move up the ladder, leaving is probably a good idea).

"Has our UI changed in the last week?"

"Nope. We're Right on track"

"Ok, then, meeting adjourned."

@mew: when the fuck has their UI ever changed, save from the occasional fucking-with-the-Google-logo-to-commemorate-some-bullshit ?

Really--why didn't you walk right up to her and say, "Marissa, you remember me, don't you--remember when you congratulated me on the stupid fucking piece of shit product roll-out last year?" Come on, girl--you gotta be able to swim with the sharks at that level!

@Tattertotter:

Additional fun could be had with synonyms, to wit:

"remember when you felicitated me . . . "

@Tattertotter: Well, I understand this. There's fighting for a cause, and then there's realizing that your boss is a hopeless case, reassessing your case and the work you want to do, and then deciding to leave for greener pastures.

I mean, it's a fucking workplace, right? You can't bully your way into acceptance. That just makes everything go to shit. I don't know what you do for a living, but I'm guessing it probably doesn't involve working daily in a tight team of people?

@son of spam: She is tough. Who leaves a great job with a great company out of the realization that they're not earning the credit they deserve for the work they do?

That's some balls in last year's economy, let alone in this year's economy.
