Yahoo! doubles maternity leave time for employees

If you're a working soon-to-be-mom, you might want to consider working at Yahoo. The California-based tech company has just announced that it's doubling its maternity leave for new moms. 

That news comes on the heels of CEO Marissa Mayer's controversial decision to ban employees from working from home, a move that many moms said made it more difficult for them to balance work with family. Joining us for more on this is Lauren Wallenstein, founder of Milk Your Benefits, a consulting firm for new moms.
