In reading the press release for "Leave the Office Earlier Day" I found it funny that it actually just encourages people to leave the office after 8-hours of work. Is that leaving the office earlier? Maybe. But that's not anything to get excited about is it? How about a "Leave the Office When Your Work is Done and You Feel Like It Day?" I say stop focusing on the amount of time you spend in the office and start focusing on when, where, and how you can continually produce great results.

I am lucky that (a) I can come and go as my schedule and need for autonomy dictate, and (b) I like my job so it does not seem like work! Anyway, I would never leave my job just because it was leave work early day, that seems counter-intuitive when you enjoy your job and find meaning in it. For all of you considering leaving your job early to protest not having enough flexibility, I say to you, why are you working somewhere that makes you unhappy!
