Section I: Article Summary
The main concept of this newspaper article is to inform the reading audience of the benefits to American white collar workers already in place working under flexible working hour employment conditions. It stays away from political opportunities as well as monetary measurements of pluses or minuses to American employers for this type of employee.
This article focuses largely on subject matter often overlooked yet vitally important to American flex time employees. Such as, better health, increased job satisfaction, and satisfactory or better work output and productivity. Studies and research lend credibility and substance to this article easily cross referenced by the reading audience should one desire to do so.
Purpose of this article appears to be a formal journalistic response to a recent announcement that a large trend setting American employer was implementing a work force model change going away from today’s American corporate trend which is flexible work hours, job sharing, and work from home remote employees to further reduce operating costs and increase information security levels. This article specifically refers to that fact that a Yahoo corporate officer recently boldly announced it was eliminating all flexible hours and remote working opportunities.
Lastly the article makes no courtesy mention regarding exceptions which must exist in a large global customer dependant company like Yahoo. Certainly there are some remote employees that by service to global clients and no practical field office location shall remain unaffected by this change.
Following this brief summary are key points in article order respectively.
CEO of Yahoo enacted policy week of 02/25/2013 barring existing employees from flexible work hours and requiring remote employees to return to the office full time.
