Tall wo(men) make more MONEY!

I saw this in one my business books and had to post.Tall people because they are seen as more leader-like—actually earn higher performance evaluations and also earn more money. In fact, each inch in height amounted to $789 more a year in pay. So, someone who is 7 inches taller—say, 6 feet versus 5 feet 5 inches—would be expected to earn $5,525 more annually. - I guess I need to wear heels more often! Read more

Does your company support maternity leave?

Two months ago Yahoo's CEO Marissa Mayer banned telecommuting and created quite the uproar, especially for working mothers with young children. She recently implemented a new maternity policy, for both mommies and daddies to take up to eight weeks of paid child leave, with benefits, each time they have a new child.
