It is interesting to consider what this does to the psyche of the 45k/yr employee.

Do they become less likely to risk leaving this role? Do they value less the opportunity to test out a different career, even if the potential salary is higher? Do they become more devoted to the wellness of the Company? How does this impact their drive? Results? Retention?

It would be fascinating to see their HR metrics 10 yrs from now.(assuming Gravity Payments doesn't put itself out of business)

1. For the knowledge worker, employment should be measured in results (not time).

I have achieved work-life balance by predetermining what I will deliver and when. My manager has buy off and he consequently doesn't care what hours I work.

2. I fundamentally reject the principals of this article. If you feel oppressed by trading your products or services for a wage then please feel free to never take in a wage.

In America you are responsible for how much you work and how much you earn.
