Hi there
I really can't believe that a Global I.T company (Yahoo) would actually Ban Teleworking - especially these days with excellent mobile devices, fast broadband and with new OS'es (in particular Windows 8) and server systems designed for remote storage and sharing applications.
BBC News - Teleworking: The myth of working from home
Why does it always have to be an Either OR situation -- All work at Home or All work in the office.
I'm extremely glad to be able to work at least ONE day a week at home -- This to me seems the best way --have a bit of BOTH.
These days where everybody has mobile phones which are in constant use -- and some people seem to be totally unaware that things like loud keyboard clicks and incessant rings / other notification sounds DO effect other people around them make a day or two at home really productive. - When it comes to Mobile devices some people seem to be totally lacking in respect for other people in crowded places -- while in the office just turn the keyboard taps down and mute the sounds that arrive from 20,000 twitter or facebook messages and seem to be totally fazed if you ask them to quieten their mobile devices down a bit while you are struggling to think in order to solve a complex problem.
I wonder if Yahoo actually has some shares in airlines or hotels and is worried about declining revenues if less people travel daily to work.
Cheers
