Could definitely be a source of inspiration for workplace freedom and efficiency for yourself and Silverchip moving forward. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gG3HPX0D2mU Liam,

Overtime is re-warded in so many other ways. I don't believe in overtime in its traditional format. Your right, but we also made very clear to all the team and any new person how we work.

Productivity is high and actually as the office is so relaxed I spend a good amount more time in. As a developer as soon as you start working for hours you've lost the interest and you're not going to be an effective member of a team. As Liam knows this is what we run on.

Only issue I can see is some people believe they are paid for the number of hours they work, and feel anything beyond that constitutes overtime. That said, most engineers I know (including myself) work til they either get bored or can go no further:-) Sounds interesting!

I see both sides as it can go horrible wrong with no effective 'veto' but it just so happens that on our side the structured logical approach to a deadlock always forces the greater decisions to be taken.

It's been very interesting looking at this as a topic though. Until you posted the link, I didn't know what a large topic it was!
