dzīve ārpus darba neeksistē.
Man šķiet, ka sadaļa: "Flexibility to work overtime and weekend hours when necessary" drīkstētu eksistēt tikai ārstiem, ugunsdzēsējiem un katastrofu seku likvidētājiem, par 10kāršu samaksu. Visu citu profesiju sakarā tam būtu jābūt aizliegtam ar likumu. (un vēl ar likumu vajadzētu noteikt, ka darba nedēļa ir 3-4 darba dienas gara)
