[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I do go into the office, I am always amazed at how much time is wasted.  Coffee breaks, drawn out 'brainstorms' that are really just people saying the same thing to convince themselves they were all involved.  Catching up on small talk (the gym, the kids, what they watched the night before).  Bathroom breaks take longer bc the smallest room is usually a distance from their desk.  Unscheduled calls/stop-ins are disruptive to workflow.  I don't know that I'm more productive working from home, but it is certainly not as lopsided as some might think.  Like PP, I start earlier and have very little ramp up time.  When I sit down, I'm immediatley producing. [/quote]

+1.  My entire company (Fortune 500) teleworks routinely.  I go to the office 1x/week.  No one "looks down on" this because 100% of us are doing the same thing.  Many of my colleagues telework 100% of the time.

I think the real motive of MM/Yahoo is to get people to leave, which will relieve Yahoo of the obligation to pay severance.

This decision is, apparently, not based on any evidence about the relative productivity and effectiveness of teleworkers versus in-office workers. She made some broad statements about the benefits of working in the office which, while perhaps correct anecdotally for some, are not supported by data of any kind. It is a well-established fact that companies that offer flexible workplaces thereby earn the loyalty of their workers, who will go the extra mile for them. These policies also help employers attract and retain talent.

I am indifferent to the decision because I am quite sure it will have no impact on how we do things in my workplace.[/quote]
