Comments on: Salary jumps for Decker with Yahoo promotion

Yahoo's Sue Decker to make $815,000 a year as president.

Sexist article?

I don't see similar articles about the salary of male CFOs being promoted to President. Why is Sue Decker being singled out? If fact, why isn't there any mention of Jerry Yang's new salary?

It's about corporate governance, not sexism

She has been one of the highest paid executives in Silicon Valley for years (her stock options during the decline of Yahoo have been outrageous). This article is just following up on this long-time scandal... as if she needed a few hundred K more at a time when she has hundreds of millions in options.

Look around a bit more, and read some of the archived stories on this site. CNET has been dogging on execs for YEARS regarding pay that does not match performance. Jobs, Semel, that guy from Genentech, the dude from symantec. It's only fair they include a woman in there. Drop the PC act, it's annoying. Let's keep the reporting fair and use cross-sections and samplings, none of this "protected class 'cause she's a woman" bit.
Oh, Rats

I thought maybe Yahoo had hired a bounty hunter to find androids in the corporate ranks. I guess we're stuck with the corporate androids for now.
