It’s neither. Unless you’re 1099/hourly or in sales you get paid to be available to work during a set period of time (generally not specific hours), regardless

It’s neither. Unless you’re 1099/hourly or in sales you get paid to be available to work during a set period of time (generally not specific hours), regardless of how much you accomplish during that time. Keep in mind this works both ways - if you finish your work in 5 hours and spend the next 3 messing around on Reddit or whatever you still get paid for 8. Getting paid for actual hours worked isn’t as much fun as you probably think.
- bagacrap 5y agomessing around on Reddit for 3 hours is a lot less useful than what I'd be doing at home if I had 3 hours to spare
- maerF0x0 5y agoI've taken these spare time gaps to do work like things at work but that have lasting value beyond my work day/week/role. For example I'll read books.
