Yahoo has some 11,000 workers. Most estimates put the number of remote workers between 300 and 500. In other words, just 2-4% of the Yahoo work force. That’s a tiny mi**rity!
But that’s exactly why it’s been so easy to place the blame on them for Yahoo’s ails. Mi**rities make for great scapegoats in all walks of life. If we can just place the blame on this small group of people, then it means there’s **thing really wrong with the rest of us.
Gruber summed up this sentiment (http://daringfireball.net/linked/2013/02/27/yahoo-mayer) as “Yahoo employees have been allowed to work remotely, and they have **t excelled”. In other words, Yahoo is a rudderless basket case, so it must be because of those 2-4% of the work force who are “goofing off”. Heh.
Yahoo puts the same blame in their original edict (http://allthingsd.com/20130222/physically-together-heres-the-internal-yahoo-**-work-from-home-memo-which-extends-beyond-remote-workers/): “To become the absolute best place to work, communication and collaboration will be important, so we need to be working side-by-side”. So yes, remote workers are keeping Yahoo from being the “absolute best place to work”.
What a parody, what a farce.
