Yahoo! CEO Marissa Mayer is currently under fire, particularly from at-home workers. Since June 2013, at-home workers were required to report to the office in what she argues as her way of discerning active and inactive remote workers. However, according to the Daily Mail, that's just half the reason why the 38-year-old CEO is taking heat; having recently given birth to a baby boy, Mayer had a nursery built on her office to keep her work close and her son closer. Choosing an office space is one thing; managing it is another. The decision to have all remote workers report to the office, just as working off-site, always carries serious repercussions that have to be taken into account in office planning. Yahoo! had a good reason to enforce this change, but it incited whispers among those who weren't supposed to be affected by it. Should you enforce a decision like this in the future, make sure your available Arlington office space can take the influx of workers.
