Marissa Mayer’s Pregnant Promotion Equated To The Odds Of Hiring A Yeti And Other Twitter Adventures
Yet, as much as the announcement produced audible applause all through the Twittersphere, the repeated headlines and pats on the back have highlighted a rarity that shouldn’t be one at all: a woman successfully navigating the career ladder with a baby on the way. As much as Mayer’s promotion is quite literally the promotion heard around the world, the massive press coverage has revealed once again a workplace structure that consistently refuses to accommodate families. Hence, Mayer is presented as the brilliant anomaly and it’s huge flippin’ news that a pregnant woman of all people has a lucrative and powerful job. So from the straight up mockery to the legitimate criticism, people have plenty to say about Mayer’s big pregnant promotion.
