| Abstract: | This article looks at the controversial decision taken by Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer to ban telework in early 2013. It analyses the pros and cons of teleworking and searches for the underlying assumption that may have led to this ruling. A brief comparison to the work-life measures offered by Facebook and Microsoft is made, to show that these successful companies are using innovative temporal and spatial work arrangements to allow their workers to integrate their work and non-work life. The article concludes that turning back the clock may not be best solution for Yahoo and its workers. |
