Myths surrounding flexitime jobs

A flexi job is not a real job.

False. Flexi work is becoming popular and alternative work policies are being made in firms to cater to the needs of flexi-timers.

You cannot make money working flexi time.

The sky is the limit as far as money is concerned. Efficient and qualified flexi-timers can make enough money if they plan their assignments well.

Under-qualified people settle for flexi jobs.

In fact, professionals are quitting high-profile jobs to take up flexi-time jobs. More people with MBAs and postgraduates are seeking this option.

Flexi jobs do not require any additional skills.

Flexi-timers have to be disciplined and responsible enough to deliver high quality results and have good co-ordination skills.

Flexi time means you are your own boss.

Not quite. What flexi means is that you are free to work at your own pace, but you are answerable to higher authorities.
