Really dig into this and you have.

Some more information about their decision yet still Marisa Mayer really -- -- who bear the torch for all working moms and she took this job at Yahoo! last year.

She admitted within the same day that she was actually pregnant and she famously took off only those two weeks when she had her -- September.

She's really ticked off the working mom community by ending their telecommuting policy last Friday in an internal memo on I was sent out.

To -- Yahoo! employees as of June it ought to start working in office.

That she -- in nursery built in her office can now -- on saying that it's unfair that she's ended this telecommuting policy and has this nursery.

For her sign in Iraq.

So I spoke to a couple of different people and it also -- -- Yahoo! is he was there and what's India -- at all surprising front page they don't comment on rumor is they said that they don't also they also don't comment on internal policy and that there.

Telecommuting in general but they're rather just trying say what's right for Yahoo! in this moment in time.

-- they say we don't discuss doesn't matter if not a broad industry view on working from home and it's about what's right for Yahoo! rates.

I agree with that.

Some similar kind of saying -- break be -- I spoke to you John Challenger he's -- -- challenger gray and Christmas big staffing consultancy firm.

Working from home and -- also interesting to.

Challenger said that she's definitely taking more heat because she's a woman in this position and he said to me that anybody -- Warren Buffett has a corporate jet -- -- them back and forth now.

And of course they don't because it's expecting the CEO he has more.

Power and opportunity to sell more power to crack cracked give I think you so much for -- patent and all of that -- for -- --
