Hoops

Ask a Manager

It’s five answers to five questions. Here we go…. 1. My coworker constantly fact-checks everyone else. I have a coworker who has a habit of fact-checking other team members. She is not a manager.

130 Hour Work Week… Say What?

Jeff Waldman

By now you’ve all likely seen the article on businessinsider.com about how Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer worked 130 hours per week and why it matters. Before I dive into this topic let me just say, this all “utter b t”, and pisses me off. The point of my post is not to minimize her success in any way shape or form, but to promote the fact that her success is directly related to her working 130 hours per week while pulling all-nighters is ridiculous.
