Chapter 4 Discussion-accidentally did wrong chap.

My cousin works a flextime and absolutely loves it. I think that it can be a great help to many people to have the opportunity to come early and be done early or to come later and maybe stay later in the evening. I think for me this would be extremely hard because I have a hard time pushing myself to get things done early. I am a bit of a procrastinator. I also thought job sharing is a very interesting idea. I wonder if companies have jobs with these two things. What if the work doesn't get done on time or right or at all? I guess my main question us how does the company figure out who is qualified for these different flexible work schedules? I'm sure there are some people that can't have these schedules because they would not get as much as they needed to finished or they wouldn't complete their hours.

  1. I have some experience in Job Share/Flex Time...A colleague and I both had babies due around the same time. We both wanted to stay in our careers but cut back on hours. So, the company allowed us to "share a desk." The company was opened from 7am to 7pm. We simply split the day in half. I took the early shift and she took the late. We shared an office, desk, phone, etc...We each met with our clients, but made sure our appts were wrapped up before the other one arrived. It was awesome! Having this as an option ABSOLUTELY kept me from quitting my job altogether.
