Compare these two quotes:<p>&#62; Glass was "flabbergasted" by the Yahoo memo. "This seems to be trying to bring Yahoo in line with corporate America, not high-tech industries," she says.<p>&#62; Only last week Google's chief financial officer Patrick Pichette said when the company is asked how many people telecommute, their answer is "as few as possible".<p>What company better represents "high-tech industries" than Google? Maybe Apple? Microsoft? Amazon? My understanding is that these companies do not encourage or permit much working from home either.
