• 1:07
  Speaker 3: this is, you know we all I mean, you know,
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: I've got four kids. R I got a twenty two
• 1:11

  Speaker 3: I will say back to your point, this is not
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: an excuse to be lazy, This is not an excuse
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: to start works.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: You I know, and what industry would this work.
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: Well, I mean it's already working in things like it
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: right where where you've got programmers and people who don't
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: need to necessarily meet clients. We don't need to be
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: in the office at nine and stay until five. It's
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: really those who are independent. I mean, I'll be honest
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: with you. I sort of worked this way. I mean
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: I started at about nine and I finish it at
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: ten at night, but I take two hours off in
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: the middle of the day for a year, star I
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: work with no I just sort of meet interesting people like.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: You I am, but I think you go to don't you.
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: Well occasionally, Yeah, you've got to keep healthy. But it's
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: letting people work in a way that is most productive
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: to the amount, opposed to saying if you're not in
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: the office by eight, then you're in trouble. You if
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: you don't stay until five, then you're out of here.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: Listen, I mean, isn't this basically just modern flexibility in
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: the workplace because we work on global economy and we're
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: just we want to stick weird labels on it, But
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: it's just another way of describing flexibility, isn't it?
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: One hundred percent? That's I mean, look, the bottom line
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: is when you get to a certain level, you've got
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: to trust your workers, right, I mean, you know, not
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: everyone to be your boss. But there's a lot of
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: people that add go into an organization and it's basically
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: letting them work in a way that optimizes there their
