What job roles are more inherently or structurally inflexible?
I recently attended a symposium on flexible working which really explored how many different ways one can make a job more flexible in terms of either times of day/week worked or location worked (http://blogs.technet.com/brucelynn/archive/2009/05/21/who-benefits.aspx). The discussion begged the question posted here. For starters, we came up with job tighly linked to large capital equipment (eg. airline pilots, developers on CAD/CAM). I am working extensively in the area of helping companies become more flexible in their workforce and workplace practices and I am keen to look at the toughest roles to make flexible to test the principles and capabilities of many of the approaches and tools.
