Summary: Newly anointed Yahoo! CEO Marissa Mayer ignited a national debate over the merits of telecommuting after she demanded that her employees work exclusively from the office. We discuss the new Yahoo! Edict, and its implications for workplace culture with Sharon Kim, assistant professor at the Johns Hopkins Carey Business School who specializes in organizational behavior; and Ray Fisman, professor of social enterprise at Columbia Business School, and author of The Org: The Underlying Logic of the Office. Also, Rep. John Sarbanes (D-Md) discusses his telework law passed in 2010 that gave federal employees the option to work from home.
