Some workers who have soured on the 9-to-5 schedule are interested in trying "microshifting," which may offer greater flexibility and control over their time.
I “started work” 3 minutes ago, and I’m still in bed. I’ll roll out of bed in 30 minutes, take a 2 hour nap, and be done by 4. But while I’m at my desk I’m the most efficient person at my company.
Employers should value output and quality over the number of minutes an ass is in a chair.
I get where you’re coming from, but that’s not microshifting. They’re talking about still working the hours, but with longer gaps and longer time between “first on” and “last off”. Leave at 3pm, but then work from 9-11pm, for instance.
Right, working whenever you want to get the job done. Still, unless you have a role like support or customer service, there’s really no reason a person should have any specific hours. I guess meetings and overlaps for communication—but that doesn’t have to be an every day thing.
