[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I work from home 100%. There are lots of folks on our team not pulling their weight.  I happen to live fairly close to our "designated meeting site" but because we are a remote team others live 60-90 miles away. If the WFH option was suddenly removed, I wouldn't have a problem with it.  It is a nice perk and I absolutely work 60 hours/week but it is not a right, it's a privilege.  I wish the people abusing the WFH privilege would get fired so we can get better skilled, more productive people on our team.  Marissa Mayer was hired to turn around a company that is a complete mess. Tough decisions have to be made and I don't believe for a second that she hasn't thought through all of the consequences of her decision.  I don't think I could work for her because she seems too driven for my taste and I'm not that kind of ambitious but you aren't a 37-yr old CEO of a Fortune 500 company without having some tiger lady qualities. Go Marissa!!!!![/quote]

Bullshit. Then why is ONLY she allowed to have a nursery built next to her office?????

Because she's the CEO! She has a hugely stressful job, to turn around a failing company and make shareholders happy.  When you're ready to take on that responsibility, then you too can build a nursery next to your office.  So interesting how when she was first hired at Yahoo, all the DCUMers were singing her praises...so impressed by the fact that she took the job, THEN when on maternity leave....what a brave move....she was changing the direction for all women in the workplace!!! [b] Now that she has turned the notion of WFH on it's ear, all you guys who have been taking this priveldge for granted - and you know who you are-  I see you all over DC pretending to work while at Nordstrom shopping or getting your nails done - all of you feel suddenly insecure about what this means for your cushy ass job and future.  [/b]
 
I used to work in Silicon Valley for what was at the time, in 1999-2000, the biggest and hottest tech company, and on Fridays that campus was like a ghost town.  everyone was WFH on Fridays. yeah, no they weren't.  They were in Napa or Half Moon Bay or Santa Cruz.  Its been happening for a long time, and its about time someone called a spade a spade.  [/quote]

What's your point?

So, SHE gets to build an on-site nursery next to her office, but none of the other women at her company can do this???

And then she bans telecommuting at the same time. Wow.

Actually, I dont get YOUR point.  Yes and Yes -[b] she is the CEO grow the fuck up.[/b]  the workplace is based on a heirarchy, if everyone were equal then we should all be paid the same?? WHAT'S YOUR POINT?[/quote]

Maybe it's time for you to turn off the computer and take a nice, calm walk? Or actually to to Nordstrom's yourself and take a few deep breaths?  :lol: [/quote]
