It is my opinion that obviously Yahoo is out of touch, both with technology, as well as their own employees. It is my hope that many of the skilled and seasoned people who are forced out find a home in more forward thinking companies. I agree wholeheartedly something needs to be done, just not sure that *this* is what that something is- but, only time will tell.

I'm a Cisco employee and we have a culture that supports working at home. People actually work when they WFH, and your boss makes sure you're delivering your deliverables. The problem that Marissa Meyer is trying to fix is the fact that at Yahoo, there is a big segment of the workforce that is not working when they "WFH." <br /><br /><a href="http://techcrunch.com/2013/02/27/mayers-means/" rel="nofollow">techCrunch</a> Sums it up pretty well.<br /><br />Obviously some people are, but as you know, bad apples spoil the whole bunch.<br /><br />I must say her quote about there are people who WFH who don't even login to the VPN surprised me. I would think they'd just fire them with cause ASAP. right? It seems they have a larger problem with assessing employees actually working or not, some of that can be explained by 5 CEOs in 5 years, but not allAndrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02712716838450707938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-551208380867702166.post-6637768480210847432013-02-28T09:28:24.903-08:002013-02-28T09:28:24.903-08:00Michelle,
