On my wishlist for 2008
I'd like flexi-working hours. Travelling during rush hour is such a waste of life.
What would you do to make this happen within the next year?

Interesting idea. Am wondering, if you were given flexi-hours but in exchange you'd have to take a pay cut, would you do it?
@altitude: No, I wouldn't take a pay cut. For me, flexi-hours means contributing the same number of hours per day, i.e. coming in earlier (e.g. 7am), and not being given the guilt-trip for leaving at 4pm.
However, I would take a pay cut for reduced hours. e.g. 30 hours per week / 4-day work week. I'd take that option as it frees up the rest of my life for the things that matter.
Flexi-hours rock! Let it known to your upper management about the benefits? :P
Not sure about your working environment but flexi-hours work better in mine! (of course you already know it!) :P
In my case, I just come in whatever time I like! I wake up at 9.30am, bum around till 10am, take a shower and end up in the office at 11 - 11.30am.
I think I might be a prime candidate for going postal in the office.
@Ranga: Same here, only difference is, i don't get paid enough - who does? I just feel that the flexibility i enjoy comes at the price of working in a good company but with below market salary!
How about I'd rather not work???
Praveen : I thought my flexi hours last time while I was actually being employed was darn good... till i heard those 2 clowns here saying they saunter into office at 11-1130am!
I want to earn more money!!
@ivan: I miss the good days =)
@ranga: Believe it or not, Going postal is covered in Wikipedia!
@altitude: IMO, Rule 1. Unless the company relies on you 100% (e.g. you're the only guy on the planet that can fix bugs in Gmail), chances are you will not make major incremental bucks in salary at the same company. 3-5% increments, tops? Anything bigger requires a jump.
@melissa: babe, you go ahead and not work. I'll just tag along. Can? Will you get a helicopter too?
@tsulin: "saunter", you say? OMG, that's so Brit-ish!
