Best Buy Announces End to Work-From-Home Program

Posted: Updated:

(KCEN) -- Working from home in your PJs is quickly becoming the new office faux pas.

A week after Yahoo! ended its work-from-home program, Best Buy announced it too is ending its flexible work program.

Like Yahoo!, Best Buy has fallen on hard times and they say they need, "All hands on deck."

However, Best Buy says some of the 4,000 non-store workers in its former work-from-home program may still get to telecommute or set flexible schedules.

But they'll no longer have the freedom to make those decisions without a manager, as they had in the past.
