Re: ADMIN: New Poll QuestionHowever, as at least one reply points out, the situation is complex. It depends At some facilities the 9-to-5 workers have the opportunity to notice that the flex-time folks seem to spend a lot of time goofing off. That can be bad for the managers of the 9-to-5 crew. They have to get their workers to be happy in spite of they think they observe. Those folks rarely get a chance to see that the guy who comes in at 10:30 and spends two hours standing in the hallway talking to various others of his kind, who all seem to leave at 3:15, is doing anything useful at all. Actually (as everyone on this list knows) the engineers are probably running de-facto three shifts, and each of them is staffing two shifts, and the yakking in the hallway is crucial inter-shift communication. The offices are all cubes, and the two official meeting rooms are booked three weeks in advance. Yes, e-mail is a help, but some things are hard to e-mail. [Waves hands vigorously.] It's up to management to see that employees do not have anything getting in the way of accomplishing work. Sometimes it's management that imposes the barriers. We all know all the Dilbert stories. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ROBOHELP X5 - SEE THE ALL NEW ROBOHELP X5 IN ACTION!
