Very insightful read that challenges the way business is done today. With the many studies that show that 9-5 does not work and tonnes of other ways of working we do, like a bonus for a good job, you would think we would have stopped.
But humans do not like change. Also, you are 100% right about flexitime. I work in an organisation like this and most people are doing at least 5 hours over every week. They feel guilty and say their workload calls for more hours anyway. (Not me though, I don’t care enough 😅)
