It must have taken a lot of $$$ and planning to get the employees back into the office. Companies usually profit by making their employees work from home.


Is that even legal? If you negotiate as a condition for your employment the ability to work from home... I don't know. I am of two minds on this.


There is no chance any regular Yahoo employees have that negotiated as a condition of their employment.


Sure there is...they just get bought out.


That's exactly what I was talking about. If I got aquihired while in a work environment that I was successfull in, you had better believe that I would be bargaining about that.


Well, Mayer finally gets her wet dream: No one to mitigate her absolutism.

I've no involvement in Yahoo, but personally, this raises my gorge -- a reaction to my own past experiences with Management dictates and ultimatum from on-high. Very often a blind cudgel of personal prejudice, often mixed with Management best-practice du jour.

Mayer may be smarter than the last, but apparently not than the rest.
