YAHOO CEO FACES BACKLASH
FOR TELECOMMUTING BAN
Marissa Mayer, the newly appointed Yahoo
CEO who already provoked controversy by
taking only two weeks of maternity leave,
has sparked a debate by announcing a ban
on working remotely. “Some of the best
decisions and insights come from hallway
and cafeteria discussions, meeting new
people, and impromptu team meetings,” said an internal memo from the head of HR. This is
likely another attempt by Mayer, who recently announced a makeover for Yahoo.com, to turn
around the struggling company. “This isn’t a broad industry view on working from home —
this is about what is right for Yahoo!, right now,” a Yahoo spokesperson said in a statement.

The Oscars attracted an audience of
40.3 million people, making it the mostwatched show in three years, according
to Nielsen. While many criticized host
Seth MacFarlane for making off-color
jokes, the Family Guy creator successfully
targeted a younger demographic, with an
11 percent ratings increase among 18-49
year olds. But when asked by a Twitter
follower whether he would host again,
MacFarlane wrote, “No way. Lotta fun to
have done it, though.”
