Yahoo Exec: Telecommuting Ban Is Absolutely Necessary

If you are waiting for Yahoo to apologize for its anti-telecommuting policy, you might not want to hold your breath. Several months into the mandate, the company is more committed than ever to making its workers come to the office. “I think, within Yahoo, our employee base understands what the mission is,” Yahoo chief development officer Jackie Reses said, speaking at the DLDwomen conference in Munich, Germany. “We are on a mission to turn the company around.” The move was not without its bumps. But most of the criticism was from those outside Yahoo, Reses said.
