Stop attacking a strawman! Nobody's arguing that remote workers are the one stumbling block between Yahoo and mountains of glory. There's a bigger issue here than just the ability to work from home. It's about freedom, not taking any steps backwards and globalization. An employer should empower its employees to do the best work they can. Taking away certain freedoms will hinder this. Remote working is a pretty solvable problem. What's it say that a technology company refuses to take this on? That they've given up and retreated from it? Does this have bigger implications on the industry at large? What about other industries? Yahoo! has several offices. If you are working with someone in a different office, what does it matter to you if they are in their office or a coffee shop or their bedroom? What if they are in a different timezone? Is Yahoo going to increase their travel budget to get the benefits of collocating? Would stockholders like this?
