Marissa Mayer Is Giving New Parents At Yahoo $500 To Buy Baby Stuff

That's not the last of the parenting benefits at Yahoo, reports the WSJ:

Among some of the other new benefits: New parents will receive $500 to spend on household expenses, such as laundry, house-cleaning, food or childcare, as well as Yahoo-branded baby gear, a spokeswoman says. (Employees with new pets also get freebies, such as dog collars emblazoned with the Yahoo logo.) The firm also offers an eight-week unpaid sabbatical, for every five years of tenure with the company.And it will continue to provide $5,000 toward adopting a child.

$500 is nice, of course, but the WSJ says Facebook gives new parents (adopted or otherwise) $4,000.
