I am pretty frustrated that when people are confronted with the concept of more flexibility, they twist it into the fatal certainty that they will be "forced" to work to the point of exhaustion.
Very good point. Unfortunately some people are arguing against a change because they "think" others will do this or do that, that they have no control over themselves and they will work themselves to death.

I told you what I will do with my team if we have unlimited access. Tell me what you will do with your team, not what you think other teams you don't know anything about may do. Otherwise this discussion here is meaningless.
