Does it? Because from all the information provided publicly it seems to apply to all remote workers - are you sure they're all lazy moonlighters? Doesn't seem probable.
And don't apply your own experience to everyone else where it doesn't apply - I work from home a lot too - I have no dogs, no kids, no smells - in fact I have a very nice office, with better equipment and environment than any client I've ever worked with. But that's just me, of course.
- gesman 14y agoWell she cannot babysit every employee, and I understand her and understand your point too. All are valid. She needs to save the company and that's her choice. If you work for Yahoo you choice is either [optional: bitch and] comply or find a better place to work :)
- corresation 14y agoWell she cannot babysit every employee, and I understand her and understand your point too. Hacker News, Reddit, Slashdot, 9gag, and countless other sites exist upon the 9-5 of office workers who aren't actually working. The notion that office workers are more likely to actually be doing something of value is utter nonsense. Any manager who doesn't know what their employees are contributing to the company is completely incompetent and incapable of doing their job. The physical location of the staff is irrelevant. If you work for Yahoo you choice is either [optional: bitch and] comply or find a better place to work No one is arguing with that. They are saying, however, that the end result for Yahoo will probably be much worse.
