Wow, I'm amazed at this `workers as slave' mentality people have. I would not like to work in an office, or for a company, with such policies, it sounds like a depressing, draining, stressful environment to work in. (I'd wonder how productive/creative a bunch of stressed out and depressed emplooyees would be anyway.) Does anyone on this list really want to work in this kind of environment?
