...accustomed to freedom--who have moved to jobs in departments that still operate on traditional schedules. "We could have a counseling clinic up all day long," Thompson says. "They feel alone." On the other side, Denise LaMere, a Best Buy corporate strategist, has struggled to figure out how to prove herself in the new environment. "It made me very nervous," LaMere says. Without children, she once had an advantage--she could always be the first one in and the last one out. "I had all this panic," she says. "Everything we knew about success was suddenly changing...

"They say they earned more, and we say prove it?and pay the tax on it," he asserts, adding that only 10% of investors rejected the government's compensation offer.
