Flex Hours

We had a team meeting yesterday to announce a revision to our flexible hours policy. Instead of coming and going whenever they want, our team members now have the option of working 8-4, 9-5 or 10-6. They have a week to transition to the new policy and as of this coming Monday, if they get here past 10am, they get to go home and try it again the next day.

One of the reasons we had to change the policy was because some people weren't coming in until noon. Which is fine with me except that they'd get phone calls from clients and we'd have to say, "Um, sorry, they're not in yet." It seemed unprofessional. And even though I'm all for working the way you want to, I'm also all about presenting a professional image.

I've written this before: as time goes by, we've seen the need to become more like a real company, with less liberal policies.

On the other hand, I hope we never become so corporate that we can't have a blast working every day. M.
