The list landed most of the tech CEOs but not in the most liked but the least liked CEO of US. And to our surprise, Marissa Mayer took the position of penultimate least liked CEO followed by the least liked of all, United's Oscar Munoz.
Mayor did everything she could to save Yahoo and was paid millions of dollars, estimated more than $162 millions as salary and stock awards.
But during her tenure, Yahoo faced several problems and security breaches including the one that happened back in 2016 causing massive password security breach affecting 1 billion of its users.
