That is a marvelous, and entirely reasonable, view. It is not shared by any significant number of persons in management positions anywhere. Most salaried jobs today are sort of fraudulently salaried (although to the best of my knowledge this practice actually IS legal somehow). If you work fewer than 40 hours a week, you get paid less. But you're still salaried. That way they don't have to pay you overtime. I believe they get around it by saying that you receive a salary to provide 40 hours of support per week to project X, and that way if you work less, they can cut your pay. Really this should be remedied, and tracking time worked for salaries employees should simply be illegal.
