We told people that they were all welcome to join z new system, which entails a non-territorial concept. Give up yr desk and z trappings of personal space, and we’ll give u freedom. Predictably, only half of our people have taken up z offer. Not everyone likes freedom, apparently 
We have a sales manager named Rubin Agater who sits there reading the newspaper hour after hour, not even making a pretence of looking busy. I’m sure this mystifies some of our visitors. Most modern managers wouldn’t tolerate it.
But when a Semco pump on an oil tanker on the other side of the world fail and millions of gallons of oil are about to spill into the sea, Rubin springs into action. He knows everything there is to know about our pumps and how to fix them. That’s when he earns his salary.
No one cares if he doesn’t look busy the rest of the time.
My office is on the fourth floor — at least it was the last time I looked, I don’t use it as much as other proprietors. Most mornings, I work at home.
