That was also my thought but I looked at the original article too [1]. It seems that this is (currently) a perk that she made for herself (with her own money) and that the situation is unchanged for Yahoo employees.
"Yahoo ... offers the typical Dependent Day Care Flexible Spending Account, where staff can pay 'dependent care expenses, such as day care or after-school care, with pre-tax dollars.'"
Doesn't mean that it couldn't change for all employees, but I can imagine the costs would be significant.

Edit: I should state that I made an implicit assumption that this is a private/personal daycare facility near the Yahoo buildings.
- res0nat0r 14y agoSounds like a typical daycare and the costs associated with that no?
- amirmc 14y agoThe more I look into this story (albeit half-heartedly) the more confused I am. I'm not clear on exactly where this nursery is. In the Yahoo office? A building next door? Private just for her kid or can anyone sign up? However it's set up, this PR fallout seem obvious in hindsight (should be obvious in foresight too).
