Please correct me if I am incorrect, but don't you work in finance or a related field? Stephen Send a noteboard - 14/01/2014 11:45:15 PM

It could be multiple reasons. It could be of the partners jockeying for power and trying (successfully) to assert their ideas over the group. Maybe the partners want to bring in more international business and therefore want more "reliable" fixed hours. The partners could even be planning a merger or a sell-off, and want you and your co-workers to be nice acquiescent resources to be used as pseudo-collateral.

Any of these could be reasons for wanting a more regular, controlled office environment.

I wish they asked... Aeryn - 13/01/2014 07:54:58 PM 957 Views
Aren't you kind of in the wrong line of work for that? *NM* Legolas - 13/01/2014 08:07:40 PM 412 Views
Well, perhaps. jh - 13/01/2014 05:00:46 PM 927 Views
