What if you earn a salary? Only half joking.
On a salary you're never not off the clock. It makes the time/money conversion less clear. It's not like you can say: I would buy a new TV, but I'll take a week off of work instead.
- vertigolimbo 9y agoThat's an interesting point, thank you for spotting this. I believe there are many ways you can play around with this extension and draw your own conclusions. In your particular example, it made me realise that if we were to pay for items with our time we would need some sort of anchor (something to compare to). Perhaps, I would thing along the lines: "Oh, I would need to work 2 weeks to get this Super UHD. Or, I could just work for 1 week and get this simpler UHD. That would save one week of my life. Perhaps I could go on a short holidays? Yeah... let's go for the simpler version".

There are plenty of salaried positions still eligible for (and required to be paid) overtime. And I think you can still say that, but perhaps the configuration is more complicated. How much do you earn? How much PTO do you get a year? How much do you work each week, on average? These figures combined can be used to calculate your effective hourly rate, on average.
