Q: A new survey says that in 2012, 63% of employers let their employees do this, but in 2017 it’s down to 20%?

A: Leave early on Fridays

Back in 2012, a survey asked people if their company offered them any summer perks, like a more relaxed dress code or leaving a little early on Fridays.  The same survey asked people those questions again this year.

And it’s SHOCKING how much things have changed in just five years . . .

  1. 75% of people had the opportunity for a more flexible summer work schedule in 2012.  Now it’s down to 62%.

 

  1. 57% of companies eased up their dress code in the summer of 2012.  Now that’s almost been cut in half, to 29%.

 

  1. And 63% of companies would let people leave a little early on Fridays in 2012.  Now that’s PLUMMETED to 20%.
