I only mentioned being paid less because most companies (I assume) want their workers sitting for 8 hours - working or not. At my current place I feel that (and I've been told) as long as you work you're able to work where/when/how ever you want. I ~do~ feel bad if I leave the office earlier than 5pm most days. Realistically myself and many others don't work the full 8 hours there's breaks of talking, bathroom, stretching, etc. I've never been asked to work overtime, but if I have to get something done (hasn't happened yet) I'll work on it from my couch at home if it's not a huge deal. I would be fine with working from the office a few days a week and working from home the other days of the week for only 6 hours a day, or maybe even less depending how I feel for the day. When I mention this to people outside of our industry they scoff and essentially say "well you get paid to work so work". While I understand I need to work to make a living it's inefficient most of the time. I'm not trying to be lazy it just hardly works out in anyone's best interest. I doubt I could bring this up to my current employer or future employer, and they would be OK with be working less hours per day for the same amount of pay.
