Screenshot 2015-12-10 22.50.36Although Yahoo has 16 weeks maternity leave, their own CEO Marissa Mayer, is not intending to use it after the birth of her twin girls.

I’m in two minds about this: it’s not her job to be a role model for working mothers. If she and her partner are happy about this, so be it. On the other hand, she’s arguably the trendsetter in her own company. Does this mean that other women in Yahoo, feel they need to go back to work quickly?

Either way, congratulations with your twins. As a twin mother, I know how hard it can be!
