When re-org pushes good people out; why Marissa Mayer will leave Google

> As vice president, search and user experience

She hasn't been in that role for a long time - she was re-allocated to VP of Location and Local last year.

Marissa was never an SVP and never on the execo - she was more a public face of the company, so she hasn't been demoted or promoted, just shifted sideways (which she has done a lot of anyway - involved in everything from UI, Gmail, Search, to Books, working with Sergey, etc.). She has never appeared on this page:

You can't take the rest of the article seriously if the person is forming an opinion on something that they obviously have no idea about.

I don't think she's going to leave Google. This article feels like a fabricated trolling more than anything else. Just because new people are assigned to the heads doesn't always mean all the old people will be out. Then again, if Marissa Mayer does leave Google, it will be a pretty big loss, as the article points out.

What a presumptuous and substanceless article.

". Her looks — blonde, Midwestern, unusually attractive for Silicon Valley — helped her win magazine covers."

Great job author, you've indirectly insulted all the women in silicon valley ...

Wow, I could definitely see this happening. Could Mayer and Sandberg really team up again at Facebook? I could see this as being the tipping point for them.
