If you are the only person in your life, fine.

If you have kids, or a wife or anyone else that you might like to spend daylight time with in the evening then it starts to get harder to manage.

People always say this like it's a compelling argument. But guess what? People lready work different hours; schools and business ar already open for different lengths of time; different businesses and industries already have different norms. People live different distances from work. I've worked 7-4, 8-5, 9-6 and more, and have had commutes as short as ten minutes and as long as two hours.

And you know what? Things work out alright anyway. A world in which individual organizations determine their working hours is the world we already have.
