Well we always knew she was efficient. Marissa Mayer gave her former employer Google 30 minutes advanced notice before it was announced by the Yahoo board that she would be their new CEO, according to Business Insider. You think Marissa could have given Google a bit more time, like maybe an hour, but I guess not. More
A new report in The New York Times just showed that there are no women in the top inner circle at Google. We were all so thrilled when Marissa Mayer made the big move to Yahoo that we didn’t look closely at why she may have jumped at the chance. She, along with other top women at the company, have been sidelined in the last year due to a reorganization orchestrated by CEO Larry Page. Of the seven people Mr. Page appointed to lead product areas when he reorganized the company last year, just one, Susan Wojcicki, was a woman.“There was a point at Google when the cadre of women leadership was pretty strong,” said a former Google executive. “That has changed.” Does Google, and specifically Larry Page, have an issue with women?

On this site we have talked about some of the most difficult and weirdest questions asked on job interviews. And now jobs and career community, Glassdoor, has made an official list of the companies with the most difficult questions. That old ball buster Google made it into the top 10 but consulting firm McKinsey took the number one post. But the study pointed out that a tough interview doesn’t necessarily translate it into a bad experience. The five companies judged to have the toughest questions also carried a 50 to 70 percent positive-experience rating. The bottom five companies on the list, Amazon and Facebook included, earned a positive experience note 44 to 60% of the time. But good news, new research from Canada finds that women perform better in job interviews than men do so we can handle questions like, “How many people would use a drug that prevents baldness?” More
Well, if this isn’t a good welcome package, I don’t know what is. To partially compensate Mayer “for forfeiture of compensation from her previous employer” (Google) Yahoo gave Marissa Mayer restricted stock worth $14 million that will vest through 2014 to come on as their CEO ASAP. Fourteen million to just quit a job? Yes, please. More

With that in mind, here are some ways to “Google-fy” your office, if you will. While some may seem ridiculous, and some really are ridiculous, the point is: you don’t have to have an inordinate budget to make your workplace more interactive, and possibly more fun. More
Could bringing your dog to work help you and your coworkers become less stressed? Researchers from Virginia Commonwealth University studied 75 employees at Replacements, Ltd., enabling the team to bring up to 30 dogs to work each day. They then measured levels of the stress hormone cortisol and asked participants to rate their stress levels. On the days in which workers brought their dogs to the office, their reported stress levels fell 11%. When workers left their dogs at home, their stress levels rose up to 70%. But researchers didn’t see significant changes in cortisol levels. More
