Speaking for myself and only for myself: I have actually enjoyed jobs where I had to be there for a customer. Waiting tables and being a personal trainer, I typically went home satisfied, if sometimes tired or cranky. It is having to be somewhere JUST to participate in a sustained ritual of dominance-submission with a "superior" and/or "subordinates" that drives me nuts.

This applies to a select few
CEO's and owners have always had these options. Most employees don't.
And companies are not that eager to give a few employees "freedoms" that merely agitate all the rest whose duties revolve around BEING THERE for a customer, or for a machine, or for a phone call, or like police, firefighters, and teachers.
You're taking a break from your job-hunting and job-hopping ways and have decided to stay put in your current position. Liz Wolgemuth’s careers blog will show you how to make the very best of your job, each day.
