Rep. Woolsey Puts Her 'HR Hat' On
During the House Foreign Affairs Committee's hearing on Yahoo's business stake in China on Tuesday, Rep. Lynn Woolsey said she had to put her "HR hat on." Before coming to Washington, the California Democrat was the human resources manager for a telecommunications firm.
"It is hard to hold onto your culture as an organization when you grow as fast as you're growing," she told Yahoo CEO Jerry Yang and General Counsel Michael Callahan. "As part of that culture, are you paying attention to the difference between making money and doing the right thing? That can go out the window so quickly," she warned.
The executives were grilled during a morning hearing that focused on the firm's connection to the Chinese government's imprisonment of a journalist who spoke out against it on his Yahoo e-mail account. Read more in Technology Daily's PM Edition.
