I got a press release from the Microsoft PR people this morning, suggesting that maybe now is the time I should start changing my work habits and get a little more flexible. Microsoft, it appears, wants me to get MOOFing.
Ah yes, that would be the Mobile Out Of Office thing, MOOF you see, that prompted Microsoft to build an office up a tree last month wouldn't it? Apparently some research or other concluded that 75% of people reckon the ability to work flexibly as being a deciding factor when looking for a new job, and 50% amazingly suggest work would be less stressful if they could have a tad more say in where that work was done. Listen up Microsoft, work would not be less stressful just because you were doing it up a bloody tree!
