Flex-Friendly Jobs


The season right-sizing is just starting to cool off, but the stress at work to deliver results is not seeing any signs of abating. A recent study cited in CNN’s “How to Leave Work at the Office” claimed that more than 30% of workers take work home just to cope with the work load.

Charles Viagas of Fort Lauderdale, Fla., sets his own hours as an independent contractor with LiveOps, a virtual call center company that enables workers to take customer service calls at their home. The arrangement allows him to schedule hours around his wife's job and to be an active caretaker for his two young children.
