Offshore workers will be happy with your job.
This is so cool. Offshore workers will be happy with your job; they will work with the same technology tools but more hours than you... and cheaper.

This tale about less work hours has been around for several decades.

Were not the French who tried it and failed?

Anyway, I think someday it will happen... just not in 2015.

Regards,

MV
