Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer led illegal purge of male employees, lawsuit charges
A prominent local media executive fired from Yahoo last year has filed a lawsuit accusing CEO Marissa Mayer of leading a campaign to purge male employees.
?Mayer encouraged and fostered the use of (an employee performance-rating system) to accommodate management?s subjective biases and personal opinions, to the detriment of Yahoo?s male employees,? said the suit by Scott Ard filed this week in federal district court in San Jose.
Ard, who worked for Yahoo for 3 ½ years until January 2015, is now editor-in-chief of the Silicon Valley Business Journal. His lawsuit also claims that Yahoo illegally fired large numbers of workers ousted under a performance-rating system imposed by Mayer. That allegation was not tied to gender.
Yahoo spokeswoman Carolyn Clark defended the company?s hiring and performance-review processes, which she said are guided by ?fairness.?
