On a personal note, I have worked from home for about 35 years now. For me, working from home gives me the flexibility I need to be creative. I find that, many times, I am motivated at unusual hours and working from home, I have everything available at anytime. I remember the days of driving to and from work, sometimes an hour each way, or more. I find working from home works best for me.

As we read Mr Molad’s article, we learn that the collaboration among employees was the most important factor in Yahoo’s decision to eliminate remote employees. The CEO, Marissa Mayer, felt that there was a lack of collaboration among the team in this type of work structure. Therefore, if the desired level of collaboration is lacking, then eliminating remote employees is the decision made. Reddit followed suit with the decision that flexibility was not the direction to go for their company.
