Is outrage over Yahoo decision misplaced? #tellusatoday

We asked our followers on Twitter what they thought of Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer's decision to end telecommuting. Comments from Twitter are edited for clarity and grammar:

Marissa Mayer is doing what she thinks is right for her company. If employees don't like it, they don't have to live with it.

What if Mayer were a man? Would the outrage be different?

— @ljpr

It seems shortsighted for a "new tech" company to promote such an old model of doing business.

— @cschillig

I work at home and am grateful for that. I am very productive and disciplined about my schedule. I don't need a boss next to me to do that.

— @ALSAssistiveTec

Inflexible companies are aware that they are limiting their talent pool by such decisions, but competitors may be grateful.

— @ktsword

I think it's a great move. People get too distracted at home. Keep work at work and home at home.

— @jjcub3d

We need to have a less lazy world and end telecommuting. Yahoo is going to help this. Maybe more companies will follow.

Such policy decisions adversely affect not only working moms but all employees.
