Is Reddit’s Decision To Kill Off Remote Workers A Good Idea?

Is Reddit’s Decision To Kill Off Remote Workers A Good Idea?

By Jacob Morgan on October 6, 2014

The popular user generated content site reddit just killed off their remote worker program and issued a mandate that everyone must move to San Francisco or they are no longer going to be employed by the company. Clearly this is causing a lot of discussion and while I don’t think we have the exact details […]

Marissa Mayer and Yahoo's telecommuting policy: Right motivation, wrong execution

Marissa Mayer and Yahoo’s telecommuting policy: Right motivation, wrong execution

By Chris Yeh on March 5, 2013

When Yahoo! hired Marissa Mayer, I supported the move, believing that the board needed to shake things up, and that given the dismal state of the business, Mayer was probably a better candidate than they could ever have expected to attract.  I also supported the move on Mayer’s part; she wasn’t ever going to become […]

Only Yahoos Work in an Office!?

By Adron Hall on February 28, 2013

Why Employees Should be Allowed to Work From Home

Why Employees Should be Allowed to Work From Home

By Jacob Morgan on February 14, 2013

Today around 10% of Americans are regularly working from home, and for good reason.  Many organizations today are starting to implement flexible work environments where employees can either work part time or full time from home or from a cafe, a bookstore, or anywhere else.  There really is no longer a good reason to force […]

How Work is Changing: The Virtual and Mobile Workforce

How Work is Changing: The Virtual and Mobile Workforce

By Jacob Morgan on July 27, 2010

The way we work has changed dramatically over the past few years.  I’m relatively young…turning 27 in a few weeks – yet even I can recall working for previous employers where there was just no way of getting things done without being present in the same location as my team (probably because for my first […]
