I run a software development company. I don't care if employees work 40 hours / week or 4 hours per week as long as they hit their deadlines.

That said, 100%, straight coding for 40 hours / week is probably unrealistic, but that's not really the full job description of a software developer.

this is the right attitude. Things should be results oriented not hours-worked oriented. The problem with the industry is that the factory worker metaphor still persists when knowledge work is nothing like producing something in a repetitive manner.
