[quote=Anonymous]I think WAH can be done when you have clear cut goals and expectations. If WAH employees are goofing off too much, then it says the management is not utilizing its resources properly. I have been working at home for 6 years now, since before I had children. I work in IT and I have clear cut deadlines/deliverables. My boss will know if I skip something or slip up on the quality of my work.

I pay for my children to go to daycare full time and the only person in the house during my work hours is me, in a dedicated home office. If I have to take the kids somewhere, I get my boss's permission before hand. If my children are sick (as today), I will use sick leave and not log in.

I really loved it when MM got to the top of Yahoo. I was happy to see a woman in that kind of top position. I was even defending her decision to take less maternity leave because, while I took 12 weeks for each of kids, I think she alone can decide what is best for her and it was not my place to judge another mother. Not to mention she is rich enough to get the best available care when she is not around.

But I will admit that I am disappointed by her blanket ban on tele-working but then I also want to give her the benefit of doubt and hope she is just doing it to get rid of lazy workers and will put in policies that help all people, single/married/parents achieve a good balance.[/quote]
