Its plain boring!! However with that being said, all five of your points apply to me. Add in that my office is walking distance from my house and I have great benefits and retirement, I would be almost insane to leave or would I? Oh well without a total career change in my mid 40's with a family at home which I do not totally advocate, I might as well try and at least like where I work it beats the alternative.

That being said, how comfortable would you truly feel regarding allowing employees to work less hours or perhaps only coming in 4 days versus 5 a week? It seems that there is still a huge trust issue there between employer and employee... @ Vered- You bring up another really great point. I, too, think that many of us begin to feel exasperated after a while of working under someone whom we have to ask for vacation time or to leave early, etc. For this reason (and others), I think that a lot of people prefer to "be their own boss" and for them, the benefits are greater. @ Glen…I agree!

Of course, being self employed is a great option. But there ARE jobs out there that are wonderful. People CAN be employees and be happy, well compensated and have free time for themselves and their families. Thank you for a thought-provoking article!

I wonder what the effect would be on employment (if any) if applicants were told that they would be expected to work a 55+ workweek...Definitely a growing issue-especially as the economy is experiencing a downturn and employment is of concern to most Americans....
