Marissa Mayer was right on asking Yahoo employees who currently telecommute to start to come in to the office regularly. I support her decision because people should understand that it is called a job for a reason and it has to be taken serious and without distractions. Before technology was this advanced, people did not have the option to work from home and now people are becoming lazier and lazier and want to do everything from their home. It is right to have employees at the office to be able to supervise them every now and then and make sure they are giving it their all. She’s doing it to benefit the company. I do think that the CEO’s gender had to do with how the message was received. When people see a woman they think feelings, drama, gossip. They feel all women care to talk about is about theirs and other people’s personal lives and feelings. Although some women do, there’s others that are professional about their jobs and do not let their feelings and personal lives become a topic in their conversations at work. People need to listen and analyze her reasons for doing what she did and when they understand them then they can finally share their opinions about it. They should not react the way they do only because she is a woman. Maybe she feels that if people come to the office regularly then they will work more effectively rather than working at home surrounded with a lot of distractions.
