Time Wasted? Perhaps It’s Well Spent The hot policy of the moment is called ROWE, short for Results Only Work Environment. Workers can come in at four or leave at noon, or head for the movies in the middle of the day, or not even show up at all. It’s the work that matters, not the method. And, not incidentally, both output and job satisfaction have jumped wherever ROWE is tried. A crotchety boss might say that we’re working longer because we’re wasting time, but the opposite may also be true. We are wasting time because we are working harder. hoursworking in Public bookmarkswith productivitytimeworkworkingworkweek
