Four day work week at 10 hours a day = happy days are here again! # **WHAT?!?!?!?!?** Listen. Moving from one dictated schedule to another is not flexible, is not a benefit, is not an improvement, is not trust, is not the answer, nor is it about the work. It’s just none of those things. Not even a little bit. In a ROWE, the work and outcomes associated with the role dictates when and where the work needs to happen. ROWE is 100% autonomy. You are trusted to be an adult professional and make decisions about how you deliver results. ROWE is 100% accountability. You are also held answerable and responsible for the work decisions you make. No results, no job. Real freedom + real metrics. One of our favs! **Flexible schedule is an oxymoron!** [facebook-f icon](http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https://www.gorowe.com/rowe-blog/2019/7/19/watching-the-clock-to-watching-the-calendar) [linkedin-in icon](http://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https://www.gorowe.com/rowe-blog/2019/7/19/watching-the-clock-to-watching-the-calendar) [twitter icon](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?url=https://www.gorowe.com/rowe-blog/2019/7/19/watching-the-clock-to-watching-the-calendar) [pinterest-p icon](http://pinterest.com/pin/create/link/?url=https://www.gorowe.com/rowe-blog/2019/7/19/watching-the-clock-to-watching-the-calendar) [envelope icon](mailto:?body=https://www.gorowe.com/rowe-blog/2019/7/19/watching-the-clock-to-watching-the-calendar) [PREVIOUS](https://www.gorowe.com/rowe-blog/2019/7/10/maybe-maybe-not) #### [Maybe.
