I'll probably switch for a bit, because I love the idea of being able to listen to a book for a bit, then decide if I want to continue or not. Often times I'm an hour in and the book just doesn't resonate.
The problem is that now Amazon curates what I can listen to much more specifically. I dislike giving them more power, but in reality if I'm paying $8 a month for a service I will much more likely listen to something for free rather than spend >$15 on something that isn't covered in the service.

From a managers point of view I can only see this working if there is a PAR job manual and some monitoring software and or cameras to guarantee if we pay for 8 hours we get 8 hours of work.
What type of work are you doing? I would think you want to measure output, rather than hours in a seat. Is this some type of customer service type of job, where they need to answer phone calls?
You should be firing anyone who is not getting the job done, no matter how many hours they are working.

Why would you care about how long it would take? You don't have to watch it to completion!
Because I need to do more than one load. If you want to do a load of laundry every day, it wouldn't matter, but my family always does a few loads in a row once a week.

How is "gluten-free" an advantage outside of the ignorant hipster circlejerk?
There is a growing number of people with celiacs disease and with nonceliac gluten sensitivity. I wasn't able to find reliable numbers for nonceliac, but 1% of people have celiacs. There is no wide spread agreement on the increase, aside from better testing. My wife is celiacs and it is a major PITA. Many bread type items that are gluten free suck, so any more options there would be great.
