Yeah, I've done less than two hours of work, but that doesn't mean I had 22 hours of free time.
- aydyn 2y agoAre you serious? Doctors are often on call 24/7 and do significantly more work than the average C-suite, yet you're complaining about a two hour work day? The lack of self awareness is astounding.
- saagarjha 2y agoAre you actually on call? Like, do you have a beeper next to you? Will you suffer consequences if you don't respond? There is "oh things aren't going great I guess I need to cut my vacation to Austria short" and then there is "I cannot go out for drinks, I cannot take a nap, I must have my company laptop with me and with good Wi-Fi" on-call. Oh, and for the latter you're getting paid a few hundred an hour at best. Just putting that out there.
- theshackleford 2y ago> Oh, and for the latter you're getting paid a few hundred an hour at best. Just putting that out there. Some may receive compensation of this nature, many more may not. You are making wild assumptions. Just putting that out there.
- saagarjha 2y agoYou think people are being paid more than this?
- theshackleford 2y agoI know people are paid less.
- saagarjha 2y agoHence why I said “at best”?
- theshackleford 2y agoOh, my apologies, this caused me to re-read your post and I now realised I have misunderstood the point you were trying to make. My bad :(
- saagarjha 2y agoNo worries :)
