Mayer is surely not giving up everything. She's using her wealth to balance things out in ways her employees cannot:
"Alas, with her blink-and-you’ll-miss-it maternity leave and her new policy banning working from home, it feels like Mayer is throwing darts at working parents everywhere. Her stand is even more egregious considering she’s apparently built herself a set-up most moms can only dream of: a nursery — paid for out of her own pocket — adjacent to her company office. “I wonder what would happen if my wife brought our kids and nanny to work and set ‘em up in the cube next door?” wondered a husband on AllThingsD. His wife, a Yahoo employee, will soon have to stop working from home."

- lambersley 14y agoIf all parents could afford daycares and nannies to pick our children up when school calls and says, "little Johnny is sick ," I could agree with the decision to remove workplace flexibility. However, we aren't all as wealthy as Mayer. This is bound to have an adverse effect on Yahoos.
