Title: CrunchWeek: Groupon Fires Andrew Mason, Yahoo Nixes Work-From-Home, SXSW’s SideCar Problem
Post by: TechCrunch on Mar 04, 2013, 09:30 AM


The National Day of Unplugging (http://techcrunch.com/2013/03/02/the-machine-stops/) is finally over, so go on and gather 'round your screen: It's CrunchWeek (http://techcrunch.com/video/crunchweek/) time again! It was another action-packed week in the tech industry, so Leena Rao (http://techcrunch.com/author/leena-rao/), Ryan Lawler (http://techcrunch.com/author/ryan-lawler) and I had lots to talk about when we sat down together in the TechCrunch TV studio.

Watch the video embedded above to hear us discuss Andrew Mason's ouster from the CEO spot (http://techcrunch.com/2013/02/28/ceo-andrew-mason-replaced-by-eric-lefkofsky-and-vice-chairman-ted-leonsis-at-groupon/) at Groupon (and his epic farewell memo (http://techcrunch.com/2013/03/02/marc-andreessen-and-ben-horowitz-decode-groupon-ceo-andrew-masons-farewell-memo-on-rapgenius/)), Marissa Mayer's controversial decision (http://techcrunch.com/2013/02/27/mayers-means/) to put an end (http://allthingsd.com/20130222/physically-together-heres-the-internal-yahoo-no-work-from-home-memo-which-extends-beyond-remote-workers/) to Yahoo's existing work-from-home arrangements, and whether ride-sharing app SideCar (http://www.crunchbase.com/company/side-cr) will overcome its tussle with Austin's governmental authorities (http://techcrunch.com/2013/03/01/sidecar-sxsw-austin-city-council/) to be the breakout SXSW app we've all been waiting for (http://techcrunch.com/2013/02/27/no-hot-sxsw-app/).
