The idea sprang from research that found people are typically engaged at work for fewer than three hours a day, said Perpetual Guardian founder Andrew Barnes. He said he started to think about the pressures that employees are under -- sick kids or waiting for the plumber -- and how those stresses affect productivity and cut back on hours spent in the office.

For some of us, less stress results in better sleep, resulting in fewer mistakes and more productivity.

    I knew an ass who came in late, left early, if he felt like it, never did much for years. No one cared.

      I'll tell you, it was VERY RARE for Obama to actually spend a full day in Washington. A day when he didn't campaign, fund raise or play golf was very shocking. We payed for Obama's travel so he could fundraise millions so Democrats could run on lies. Then we payed for his golf. While our wonderful president was out playing golf all day, the TSA was falling apart, just like our government! Airports a total disaster! I told Obama, if he'd resign from office, thereby doing a great service to the country -- I would give him free lifetime golf at any one of my courses!

    I worked with someone who had two jobs. Would clock in in the morning, walk across the street to his other job and then come back in the evening to clock out making a couple of appearances through out the day. He was caught after only 2 months though.
