I think the author has some good points. Salaried individuals in the company I work for tend to come in early and leave late (there have been exceptions where they did the opposite, but they don't usually last long) and work from home at night and on the weekends. Hourly people, such as myself, of course would get overtime, but for the most part that is not approved in my company. As a side note, one of my brothers, who works for a very large nationwide company in a leadership role, works 50 to 60 hours a week.

We definitely have the technology to allow people to work remotely at times, but for the most part that is limited to managers or people in specific positions. I was able to get remote access approved finally after over a year of trying so that I could sign in from home to make updates to our website when necessary. Prior to that, I had to walk people through the process of updates over the phone, or the updates had to wait.

Even though the company I work for tends to be quite diverse, the leadership is male heavy.

Health Insurance is definitely an issue. I have pretty good insurance through work. I have a High Deductible Health Insurance Plan attached to an HSA account. The premiums aren't too bad, but the insurance company doesn't pay out anything until I've paid out $3000. My max out of pocket is $7000 a year. I can't take the chance of loosing that insurance so looking for another job is out of the question. I feel lucky compared to others.

Entrepreneurship? Not sure about that one. I think there are a lot of very hard working entrepreneurs that are running businesses that may have not been noticed by the author and I know several, just in my rural area that are not rich in any way.

Just my thoughts.
