yahoo has been facing a bit of controversy after the c_e_o_ marissa
mayer i've told its employees and backed up
all of them can no longer telecommute they actually have to go into the and
out of office is had to do their job
now of course a lot of people
took the yahoo job because the fact that they could telecommute
some people actually live up to two hours away from yahoo so it's gonna out
a considerable amount of time to their community
and the reason why meyer davis is because she really felt that it was a
great way to be more productive she thinks it's a great opportunity for
people to get together to communicate to come up with innovative ideas which i
think i think interesting point to make now john what are your thoughts on this
uh... i thought about this and like i guess because we work for two or three
it's a little bit reserve some of those who want to do some working from home
when if i want to come in a couple hours away and post videos from what brought
you up to do that
uh... i think it's it's gonna be awhile before i can just like the old by the
way i was there that you were to you for my apartment im not gonna come anymore
of internal out that but ally
i definitely see where she's coming from i think that there is a lot of value to
being in the office environment as distracting is the office can be i do
think that people talking comes up with ideas which would not otherwise have and
also act like i don't discount that especially for married people and people
who bought houses two hours away from yahoo they want to keep up the lifestyle
that they have made a personally it's easy to say all this work from home
homes row distracting about my dog made up my computer mac's box that would be a
bit hard you worked on and i think so you make a lot of great points and
honestly that was my pop process went first heard about this story because and
unlock addy
change my opinion so just give me a chance to explain and the second but
whatever usually read the story in all the complaints i was like
blue fucking who've reworking yahoo go to work and stop complaining man and a
lot of people have to show up to work every day break
the thing as economic another reason why i thought that was because you know it
is in a little bit of trouble okay when you think of innovative you no longer
think of yahoo because they have been coming up with an innovative idea not
since the cold dolphin commercialism yesteryear and now and you know who was
obviously taken over i mean when you think of the internet you immediately
think of google so i don't blame meyer for wanting to come up with something if
you know some sort of strategy to become more innovative however
you read sonny's you read information and you change your mind a little bit
and believe me tommy can i had a really really heated debate earlier today about
this because i had a very like
conservative stance on it like that
sap why do you go to work i'd imagine he loves the idea of working from home she
does love the idea of thereof working from home
uh... but but but their if aka
on a budget is definitely
it could be allot more productive now there are two different studies that
have been a mention one of them
was a study done by stanford university and they found that individuals at work
from home actually more productive
and one of the reasons why one of the main reasons why is because when you're
at the workplace are actually a lot more distractions let me stop you from doing
the work that you want to do now this is an intel evidence on my part but when i
think about my personal experience it's really difficult to get stuff done here
because we have so many different people uh... some people are just uh... you
know socializing not really talking about work either doing laps you get
sucked into the conversation and you become a little less productive if your
home you don't have those distractions as much but there are others there are
other distractions i get one free with my dog or whatever but still think about
this
if you're looking to hours away from work
four hours of your day that you can use to focus on being productive as opposed
to being stuck in gridlock another thing is all right now they're study was done
by cisco and cisco actually found that uh... telecommuting actually uh... cut
save their company
two hundred seventy seven
million dollars a year okay so
that's a company that did a study to figure out whether or not it's more
productive and you know what it was more productive for that
and of course every job is different not every job you know echo it wouldn't make
sense for every type of career every kind of job
there are pros and cons of both sides of that's an interesting thing
all right from the amusement for about
three seconds there at the said this is going to study it was like
the following sungard completely destroyed and
it cisco dan and i was like the ones who are being let me know he was a pretend
that
interesting
well you know after the bond fund he thought maybe he would be involved in
something a little more substantive yeah
