- Summary:
- "The time clock is a device for the material worker. It ticks away, minute by minute, hour by hour over the course of each and every day. In the olden days the work completed was equal to the material proof at the end of eight hours. Today, the immaterial worker does not have the same symbiotic relationship with the time clock. The time clock for the immaterial worker is irrelevant because they work continually. And they work on what is most expected of them: the constant flow of ideas. Their time is not measured in concrete things. It is measured in immaterial content. Their level of production is gauged by the ongoing reiteration of presence. A very difficult thing to do that is. The service instructions are not as explicit as they are for the material worker."-- provided by distributor.
