Yeah, I'm confused by this one, as salaried employeees. Unless your salaried job is making you clock in, why not work the 3-4 hours it takes to do your normal job, take whatever meetings, and go do literally anything else with the rest of your now paid-for free time?
I mean, I don't subscribe to the mentality (I usually have side projects for my work that have tangibly lead to promotions in the past), but if I were, I'd just use it for more free time.
- kadoban 4y agoYeah, if I manage to find a way to do something really efficiently, or alternatively if I force myself to power through something more quickly than usual, then I'm happy that I helped out my boss and my company. But I'm also sure as hell going to take a nice relaxing lunch, go for a walk and enjoy my day just a bit extra too, or just stop for the day earlier. Half for them, half for me and we're both better off than if I was slower at my work.
- SketchySeaBeast 4y agoBecause the people above you don't typically have that attitude about your work - somehow you're not being paid to do the work (as salaried implies), you're being paid to sit in your seat for at least 40 hours AND do the work (just in case that's going to take more than 40 hours).
- cruano 4y agoSo use your now-free hours to look for a different job ? I mean it's hackernews after all, we are talking FAANG or startup kind of things not Walmart bag-boy
- SketchySeaBeast 4y agoDo you know of FAANG or startups that let you leave work if you're done early for the day, every day?
- sunsunsunsun 4y agoThe key is that you don't ask permission, you just leave.
