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!!!  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-  [b]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.

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]

This is so true for many.  I have a fed colleague who for some reason confides in me that when she works her three days a week from home she gets a 7 mile run in each day and then meets friends for lunch.  She is proud of this and almost seems smug that she has everyone at work fooled.  [/quote]
