Win-Win Flexibility

Kornbluh’s proposed solution is giving a survey to employees that employees can make a formal request to their employers for flexibility in the number of hours worked, the times worked, and/or the ability to work from home at the end of the second year. Employers will discuss with their employees by the formal request and then make a decision for the working forms.

After I read the author Kornbluh’s opinion, I was not surprised about that solution because I have heard some American companies had been using this way to make their employees have enough flexibility time. Actually, no flexibility time for workers is stricter in China than United States. In china, there are many companies asking employees to do more with their jobs without additional salary. These employees must to finish their employer’s requests because their bosses can fire them soon. There are not strict laws to ban this situation in China so that many Chinese have stresses on their jobs. Some factories even offer more than 10 hours working for their employees until government find this illegal situation. For example, Foxconn event is very famous in China because there are 14 people who worked for Foxconn suicide in 10 months. In my opinion, the flexibility time for workers is really important that can reduce their stresses.

I agree with the author’s opinion that do not make children age six to twelve be “home alone after school”. For these six years, children are always get some new knowledge and learn them. If there are not parents to take care of their children, these children may find some violation and eroticism information and then lean them to get a bad habits for their future lives. In my opinion, for some families that have children age six to twelve, employers should give these children’s father or mother an opportunity to take care of their children such as giving some works that they can finish in their homes.
