TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
As a Tech Writer, many of us know that our work affords us some
"flexibility" in the normal work routine:
* Tele-work
* Flex Schedules (Four 10 hour shifts/wk, etc.)
* and so on...
I pose a question to the group...
On Friday, the Governor of Utah will announce that ALL State offices
will switch to a 4 day work week (10 hour shifts) and close on Friday.
This is to meet the needs of State workers and reduce strain on the
Commute (which is a serious issue in this State).
Here's the question:
Would you go to work for a company that refused to budge (with no
proper explanation or reason given) or offer any flexibility in work
schedules? Even with such a precedence being set on a governmental
level?
Would influence your decision if you were looking for a job?
Would it be incentive to seek out another job with more flexibility?
Just curious...
