Great point.
I wonder if Yahoo is admitting what many in my industry have said all along. Working from home is a security nightmare.
Being the ultimate insider as a remote services provider, I think Yahoo has given us a glimpse at what they see happens behind the telecommuting curtin. And they are scared by it.
Personally I think this has nothing to do with the hollow "bash the big company" comments being made above.
This is not about management wanting people in the building.
This is not some draconian corporate power play or big brother company wanting to chain people to their desks.
In fact, I think many of the comments above reflect how shallow and entitled people have become that the notion of getting off your back sides and going to a place of work is abhorrent to you. Suck it up boys and girls. This is what it is like to work a real job.
I think this is a major player in the telecommuting, remote services industry, firing a warning shot of what they think of their own industry. They do not like where it is going.
I would heed the warning. If I was one of the sheep that went down the telecommuting fantasy path.
