High flyers prefer less hours to pay rise

Nearly
two-thirds of corporate high flyers would choose a cut in hours over a pay
rise, according to research.

The

shows that 62 per cent of the 600 respondents would prefer more leisure time
over a raise.

Over
80 per cent of the respondents would give up work if they could afford to do
so. The average income of the respondents was £92,000 a year.
