Shouldn't workers be home spending time with their families in the evening? Why is this considered acceptable behavior from an employer?
Maybe there should be a "premium" option for an automated nightly conference call, where employees can call in and confirm that they replied to the nightly status email, and also share any cool stories about what it was like to be away from the office for a few hours. It would be a great team building exercise.
Another productivity booster is chemical castration. Families really eat up a lot of time, which ends up costing the companies. Employees who voluntarily get vasectomies could be given a 15% spot bonus.

- nerdben 12y agoYou're free to define when the team is expected to answer. It could be in the morning... during the day. Alle-in-one emails but also one email per task finished fitting into existing workflows. However, the idea is to send a quick answer back, when your accomplishments are still "fresh" in your mind - Shouldn't take you longer than 5min. And yes, workers should spend time with their families. I'm doing that right now, too :)
