Mayer didn't get to be CEO by being stupid. Telework productivity is measured by the project or function that is being performed. Every process has measurements or metrics, if those measurements aren't being met its time to change the paradigm. There are a lot of successful telework stories but like everything else, there are enough bad ones to compare it to. When an employee is in the office, how much time is spent at the water cooler or designated smoking area or in your neighbors cube just chatting about last nights game or creating rumors about so and so seen with so and so?
The telework program is justified and has saved time, money and created a happier workforce. Like anything else you get one or seven abusers of a system and the boss is going to pull back the reigns and have middle management reevaluate the program.
