follow the 37signals leader

I like to think that VOXUS has taken the lead in
creating an enjoyable work atmosphere -- but my hat
is off to the folks at 37signals (www.37signals.com),
that nifty little company that brought Basecamp and
Campfire to the market for building collaborative
work environments. According to a
blog post, 37signals has adopted
several new workplace strategies for 2008 that
I'd like my boss to take note of: four day work
weeks (oh, yeah, I'm so there), stipends to pay
for the development of new hobbies (I'm thinking
I'd like to learn Greek...in Greece) and
individual credit cards for discretionary
spending (see previous reference to Greece). I
used to envy the cafeterias, bus systems,
massages and gyms for Microsofties and Googlers,
but now those perks seem so old school.
