    This article talks about the positive aspects of schedule flexibility that stems from an employer trusting their employees to make choices that benefit both parties equally in regards to time, rather than operating on set schedules even if the type of work performed doesn't necessarily demand it. Personally, I think that's fantastic.

    I'm in a situation now where I'm actively looking for new work for the first time in decades and I'll admit that I'm facing a bit of work-culture-shock with so many potential employers demanding availability to work any contiguous eight to twelve hour stretch on rotating shift schedules and mandatory overtime as the norm. It certainly makes me miss my old-fashioned nine-to-five even more.
