    correct, I would seriously read up on a ROWE environment. If the team needs me at 8:00 that is where I have to be. It is an interesting working environment. The standards are for individuals as well as teams. It is a pretty cool concept. I think all work environments have there draw backs, ROWE can certainly have some, especially in a union shop, but outside of that, it is a solid way to do business. It isn't just come and go as you please that is for sure.

    Hahaha, you know I thought you made up your own acronym. ;) I'll look it up so I knwo what the hell you are actually saying now!!!! I had no idea someone made it an "environment".
    Cincybearcat, you are not alone. :lol:

    Took me a couple posts to realize mikepegg wasn't just waxing theoretical on some libertarian tangent again. ;):D


    my posts are always succinct, on topic, and short.

    Now, let me tell you how I feel about speed limits

  • I once read where something like 80% of us need to clock in & be told what to do.
    For me, the 100% me, i'd say I'd need to clock in 20% of the time & could do just fine on my own the other 80% of the time. I'd guess that would break down into about 30 hrs a week governing myself -- being productive, & about 10 hrs a week clocking in reminding myself to be productive! Otherwise, before I knew it, I'd be on the golf green with Jason P. Maybe Yahoo needs to break it into percentages....

    Apparently, she based her decision on actual performance numbers and monitoring of people logging in. I guess she's saying that she's open to people working from home, but the evidence indicates that the people can't handle that responsibility in general and have under-performed.
    The only people we should try to get even with...
    ...are those who've helped us.

    Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.

    I saw that. That isn't Best Buy's only problem :lol:

    If you are lax with your results, or you have too many workers, an environment based on results only won't work. People have to buy in at the supervisory level. I will say the training we have received over the last year or more moving towards this environment has really paid dividends for my staff. Working from home has actually allowed us to get ahead in many areas. But if you aren't on top of it, people will take advantage.
