问答题 Ms. Mayer's move is not just a bad idea in itself but also a naive notion. Flexible employers help women run families and jobs simultaneously. Strict working rules make combining the two impossible or unpleasant. To be fair, as somebody who took two weeks off to have a baby, Ms. Mayer is hardly asking others to do what she would not; but then she has eased the pain of separation from her child by installing a nursery next to her office. Yahoo's less privileged women may place it to a friendlier organization. But this is not just about women. A well-managed company's workers want to be productive, and managers trust them to decide how and where they will perform best. If that's not happening, the boss needs to find out why. You can confine a Yahoo to his desk, but you can't make him feel the busy atmosphere.
【正确答案】Mayer女士的举措不仅本身是不明智的想法,也是个不成熟的见解。灵活的雇主会帮助女员工同时经营好家庭和工作。严格的工作制度使得将二者结合变得难以实现或令人不悦。为了公平起见,当有人请两周假生孩子的时候,Mayer并不会要求他人做己所不欲的事;但她通过把托儿所放到她办公室隔壁来缓解与孩子分开的痛苦。雅虎其他没有特权的女性只能将孩子安顿到更友善的机构去。 但这不仅仅是关于女性问题。一个管理有序的企业员工想要更高产,而管理者信任他们,自己去决定他们如何表现最出色,在哪里表现最出色。如果这未能实现,老板需要去找原因。你可以将一个雅虎的员工限制在他的办公桌前,但你不能使他感受到忙碌的氛围。
