I heard a story on the news this morning about a company that employs a "result oriented work environment".

In other words, workers aren't restricted by specific work hours or times or blocks of time they must devote to tasks. They don't need to ask permission to take off early or come in late or go hiking. All that matters is that the tasks be completed.

And the employer has reported not only a more efficient work force, but a happier one!

DUH.

I myself work by the task, not by the clock. I work one task from the beginning until the end, or at least until a logical stopping point. If that makes me late for lunch or late to leave, so be it.
The story noted that just because people are sitting at their desks doesn't mean they are working. Like me, now.

I think a situation that would reward good work completed right the first time with something other than more work would be one I would like to be in.

*sigh*

Back to work...Or at least looking like I am. I wonder how many people have to stretch what they do to make it fit the day? Or should I be asking for more work? I like to skate along just a bit, because often I have too much work. Days like this are rare.
