Of course, every American should have the right to work 50+ hour weeks. It's a right many of us "enjoy" right now. Often, the 50+ hr week is not a choice but rather, it is imperative if one expects to receive promotions or bonuses.</p> <p>The right we are missing is the one that permits us to choose the 30 hour work week. Flexible work is not idealism; it's admitting you have a life outside of work that is just as important.</p> Tue, 06 May 2008 11:45:56 -0400 corky brown 844679 at http://www.fastcompany.com http://www.fastcompany.com/node/843180 <p>Mr. Iskowitz, </p> <p>Perhaps you've been a CEO too long and do not remember what it is like to be a worker with no time off for family responsibility, doctor's appointments or even an afternoon free to go vote.</p> <p><a href="http://www.fastcompany.com/node/843180">read more</a></p> Mon, 05 May 2008 16:40:28 -0400 corky brown 843180 at http://www.fastcompany.com
