My sister thinks pieces of clothing or jewelry can be "unlucky", based on her experience while wearing them. Is it possible that there are times when belief will make it so? If one goes throughout the day dreading possibilities,is it possible that the dread will influence thoughts and choices? And perhaps the same with lucky rabbit's feet or four leaf clovers or one's lucky t shirt?

Smartphone, tablet or other access to social media. Prescription for pain meds. Their own chair, or favorite place to sit when watching TV, at the dinner table, etc. (Although I think this would be more than 2/3.) Rusty

Morons in government As to the doorbell question - if one is scared by doorbells, then one is probably also scared by the outside world in general. I call this the Beverly Hillbillies syndrome.

More food perks....a cafeteria, a Krups machine. The food kept employees from leaving the site, returning late from lunch and breaks.

A lounge area complete with games (dart board, pool table, etc.) and beer.

No, I do not drink beer, never had one in my life.

I guess the staggered work times is because of all the beer.

I'll guess closed offices (not open floor plan).

Gee....this is a tough one....some companies think reductions in force are a great way to increase productivity.....or even freezing salaries and eliminating bonuses....much like the company I work for but I digress.

I'm guessing implement global process management controls (think of checklists).

Alternate Work Schedules (AWS).

Normally, the work day is 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, to total 40 hours worked. But with AWS, some folks work what's called a 9-8-80, and some work a 4-10-40.

With a 9-8-80 schedule, the hours are combined over a two-week period. You can choose any day of the week as your "alternate day off," but most folks choose either Friday or Monday. With the Friday 9-8-80, you work 9 hours a day Monday through Thursday. On Friday, you work 8 hours. The next week, you work 9 hours a day Monday through Thursday, and you are off on Friday.

With a 4-10-40 schedule, you again can choose which day of the week you want to take off, and then you work 10 hours a day on the other 4 days.

With both of those AWSs you take the same day off each time. You can't, for example, work a 4-10-40 one week with Friday off and the next week take Monday off.
