> I'd rather have unpaid time off while the business finally figured out their strategy or goals for me before stepping into the office. Sorry, but I wouldn't. I work for one reason and one reason only: to afford food and shelter. I couldn't care less what my employer does with my work as long as I'm getting paid for it. About 20 years ago, there was a Dilbert strip [0] where Phil says to Dilbert "You can choose eternal high pay, but all of your work will be burned in front of you at the end of each day... or you can choose eternal poverty, but your work will be useful and appreciated". I'd choose the former in a heartbeat -- just as long as I get paid for my work, I don't care if it gets burned in front of me. Hell, I don't even need to get paid a lot -- as long as it can sustain my current lifestyle, I'll be happy. [0] http://dilbert.com/strip/1996-06-02 http://dilbert.com/strip/1996-06-02
