That kind of “leadership” is why Yahoo is tanking.
Yahoo is garbage, and Ms. Mayer is right at home in that environment.
I worked at Microsoft for 11 years. One particular woman who “worked from home” was making well into 6 figures and no one knew what the heck she was doing. She called into meetings with her kids in the car and at one point even called into the office from the gym. You cannot tell me she was earning her keep and I know there are 100s maybe 1000s more like her there.
Working from home should be an option to have only when it is necessary. Like when your pipes break and you have to be there to meet the plumber. Otherwise if these people can be in the office, they should be there. The fact that this CEO bundles for Obama has little to do with it and personally, I don’t care if she paid her own money to build a nursery at the office. That said, the PR here is very bad for her.
