Yahoo has banned its
staff from "remote" working. After years of many predicting working
from home as the future for everybody, why is it not the norm?
When a memo from human resources dropped into the inbox of
Yahoo staff banning them from working from home it prompted anger from
many of its recipients.
"Some of the best decisions and insights come from hallway
and cafeteria discussions, meeting new people, and impromptu team
meetings," the memo said.
"Speed and quality are often sacrificed when we work from home."
Ellen, I'm working from home now. At first I thought it was the answer to my dreams, but lately I think that people above me in the food chain can't deal with not being able to see people working and being productive. It's getting interesting.
