The entire board (even Pete Ligouri) wishes Yang would have merged with Microsoft. The smart money says that Mayer will revive talks with Alibaba. I think she was just brought in to broker the deal and see it through. But it's going to be a lot less than the $47.5 billion Microsoft was offering. Also, I have to concur with your mother. A pregnant CEO is a liability. The CEO is the top spot. Without the CEO at the helm, all you have is a rudderless ship. She must have assured the board that she'll be back at work soon after delivery.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8773709208108297978.post-53289720238397639872012-07-23T23:29:05.501-05:002012-07-23T23:29:05.501-05:00I'm excited for her too.

I also recall my mother buying me books about women who made great achievements, and the strides women have made.<br /><br />I'm so glad to see women continuing to live to their full potential, striving to attain their dreams and hope to see, one day, that phrases like "it's a man's world" or "women's work" crumble into obscurity as we treasure having a <i> human world</i>.The Crankyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11482237436135513483noreply@blogger.com
