Yahoo eliminates work from home!!
So theres a new hot topic out there involving Yahoo now eliminating the work from home option from its employees. The issue has sparked debate and outrage on Twitter and in the networking arena from Yahoo's employees and those who follow Yahoo's progress. I took to Twitter and many people feel that Marissa Meyer making such a strong decision is reminiscent of the 80's work environment. I even saw other companies tweeting that they still embraced remote employees and even put out offers for unhappy employees to apply with their companies. As for my own opinion, I understand that Marissa is trying to promote collaboration and connection among employees but in this day and age I am not sure if totally eliminating the ability to work from home is the best route to go. Perhaps recent troubles at Yahoo have caused them to go to this extreme due to other financial reasons as well as they fight for relevancy in today's market. As a future IT professional I am very well aware that I will very possibly be working remotely during some points of my career and I find it hard to see how such a policy will truly be implemented but the next few months of this new mandate unfolding should be interesting. I would love to converse with a current and experienced remote employee to see how they feel about this!
