Best Buy’s corporate headquarters is doing something really cool — they’re completely unleashing their employees and letting them work whenever and however they want. As long as the work gets done.

The endeavor, called ROWE, for “results-only work environment,” seeks to demolish decades-old business dogma that equates physical presence with productivity.

And now story time. I actually quit my first post-college job because it became clear to me that the company rewarded hours instead of productivity. I watched a coworker get rewarded for putting in an 70-hour-week … 20 hours of which involved retyping a 15-page document rather than ask me to send him the file to edit. (I can only imagine how efficiently the other 50 hours must have been spent.) Did I mention that the coworker was a hunt-n-peck typist? And that he could have spent 10 minutes getting the file from me, but instead he RETYPED THE WHOLE THING? And that then management took him out for a formal steak “thank you” dinner that concluded with overpriced brandy? I quit a couple of months later, and the company went out of business a year after that.

Now I work for a company that understands that they get their best from me when they let me work 32 productive hours a week. Why don’t more employers understand this?
