>The point is typically getting rich. No, it's not. The point is to be in Control Of Your Own Destiny, and be wealthier. If your goal from the outset is to GET RICH then that's very nice and ambitious of you but that's a) unlikely to happen and b) outside of a few lottery type scenarios you still have to work in that environment for 5+ years before you "cash out". You still have to live and enjoy life within that timeframe. >I can't think of any incentive for businesses to take that policy very seriously. For knowledge workers, more productive employees, higher retention rates. A friend of mine owns the Best Company To Work For. It's incredible to see her hiring process work, because people walk in and look the place up and down and and go "Holy shit yes I want to work here". On the flipside, no one has left voluntarily in three years - which I think in web-developer years is a small eternity. Plus, you get the karmic benefit of not being an asshole.
