    So the 2 good things she did at Yahoo: 1. Parental leave 2. A nursery Now, I wonder how things would have been if she herself was not pregnant when she joined Yahoo

Was in all the big papers, caused quite the kerfuffle. http://www.businessinsider.com/marissa-mayer-who-just-banned-working-from-home-paid-to-have-a-nursery-built-at-her-office-2013-2 http://www.businessinsider.com/marissa-mayer-who-just-banned...

  She did mostly the same that every CEO seems to do when they're hired to pull the cart out of the mud. Fire a bunch of people. Remove freedom from employees. Make the company more conservative in gerneral. The parental leave was just a marketing stunt. Same happend at the last company I was employee, that's why I left. And this is probably why I'll be freelancing for a long time. My lifetime is to precious to be multilated by some managers.
