In Australia, unfortunately it's the first option. Most managers
wouldn't
have a clue what amount of work we do unless they see us sitting at a
desk for hours on end... We still have a long way to go in this
country
when it comes to getting smart management.

That alone should make a HUGE difference. Nowadays, I find myself
sitting inside a car or train nearly 3.5 hours per day. Time that is
unproductive to anyone. That's more than a third of a normal working
day
that is wasted, *EVERY SINGLE DAY*, by the vast majority of commuting
workers.
Yet does it ever get addressed by companies or politicians? No way,
too
hard basket. And the solution is so simple.
