| Arrington and Carol Bartz |
The reputation so well copied on the Twitter account Fake Carol Bartz was created by events like the one where Bartz dropped one in April at an earnings call, when she said "We had a lot of people telling engineers what to do but nobody fucking doing anything.."
Yikes.
Still, that's nothing compared to what Bartz did Monday because her F-bomb, telling Arrington to F-off, was not by accident. She meant it and delivered it right between the eyes of Arrington.
Personally, I don't think it was deserved as all. Even in his worst moments Michael has never treated anyone like that. And while it makes for classic video-blogging, it's also a tasteless act.
Yahoo! is a public company which means it's going to be the focus of hard questions regarding its strategy. Carol Bartz should work to handle those questions with style and grace, not anger and roughness. Was it funny, hell yeah. I think even Michael wanted to laugh, even though it was directed at him.
One has to wonder what Carol Bartz is like when she's had some drink in her system. Man, I hope I'm around to make a video for that one!
Plus, you've not seen the entire interview! Yet.
Rock the Casbah!
