ROWE is not flexibility. ROWE is not a flexible work arrangement. ROWE is not flex-time. The only “F word” that best describes ROWE is freedom. We understand people who have no control over how they work or are forever asking permission to live their life may see “flexibility” as a ray of hope. It’s not. [...]

Life is interesting. Each day is new, and wonderfully unpredictable. That’s why flexible work schedules suck. Flexible schedules are inflexible and ‘flexible schedule’ is an oxymoron. But I digress. SUNTELL adopted ROWE after their 1-day Fastrack Migration on August 31st, 2010. A few months later, one of their employees, Ryan, went on his honeymoon and [...]
