The working from home ban is arguably the biggest change yet. We asked our readers, \"Do You Value Working From Home?\" and the responses were widespread. While the majority strongly believe the option to work at home should not be eliminated, many backed Mayer's decision, siting year-long-losses as a good reason to shake things up.
