[null,null,null,"Sommario/riassunto","Most books on the subject of work focus on the increased amount of time Americans spend on the job. Peter Meiksins and Peter Whalley address the counter-trend, examining the difficult path traversed by people who choose to work less than the standard, forty-hour week. Their fascinating investigation of alternative work arrangements speaks directly to the concerns of all workers who must balance career with other commitments.Through interviews with technical professionals from a wide range of employment settings, Putting Work in Its Place refutes the popular myth of the customized work schedule as inevitably a \"mommy-track\" or a return to traditionalism among women. Most of these workers-male and female, young and old-remain strongly committed to their jobs, but wish to combine work with other activities they value just as highly. This can mean family for some, but for others "]

They are also helping to shape a new agenda for the future of the workplace: to transform their individual successes into a normal practice of customized work time."]
