The Benefits of Working in the Office

Yahoo chief executive Marissa Mayer wants to abolish the work-at-home policy. She thinks that it will hinder the employees’ efficiency and productivity if they stay at home and drinking coffee and taking a nap.

On one hand, it will be beneficial for workers to work in an office because through communicating with their colleagues, they may come up with ideas and innovations especially a company like Yahoo, which requires new inspiration from employees all the time. In Google, it provides free food and snacks, on-site gyms, subsidized massages, so on.  This can attract workers to work in the office and they can have free snacks while they’re interacting with colleagues.

On the other hand, we cannot avoid having procrastinators in the office as they receive such good service from the company, then the money spent will be wasted.  The problem is how to enhance employees’ discipline in the office and their use of resources.
 

It all depends on how well the employees discipline themselves. If everyone in the company works efficiently and productively with the help of recreational facilities, there won’t be any problem at all.
 
Gay Wedding Is Embraced by Disney in Tokyo
  Disneyland is a fantasy world and those fairy-tale stories always have a happy ending; the prince and the princess live happily ever after. Have we ever heard of the prince and the prince live happily ever after?
The first gay wedding was held in the Tokyo Disneyland, which will encourage more gay couples to get married in Disneyland.  Negative influence or misconception will be conveyed to children because we want to give out a positive and correct value towards marriage to the children.  I think Disneyland should have considered the consequence of holding the first gay wedding as well as the tourist or public perspective towards the same sex marriage. Nowadays, not many people accept same sex marriage. Besides, Disneyland is always crowded with people, there must be people who feel uncomfortable with the wedding ceremony that was held in the resort.  Disneyland should consider that tourists perspective of same sex marriage but not the cost of the wedding package that the couples purchase.

  1. Wow I like what you had to say. It was powerful. I especially agree with what you said about Disney Land allowing gay marriages to take place. They are a role model that many children and parents look to . Like you said, this action will confuse the children and tell them that this is right even though it is wrong.

    We live in a world that is twisting morals. The world tries to make sense of things by taking God out of the picture. If there was no God then it would not matter what you do. However there is a God and he has given us certain commandments to follow, Marriage between a man and a women is one of them.

    Also even just looking at this through a secular view it makes sense for marriage only to be held between a man and women because that is how we get children.

    You did a fantastic Job on your Blog post and I want you to know that your a really great friend. Thanks for all you do.

    Bye Bye!
