Most of these people are over paid actually. Making without stock over 150k and then around the same in RSUs or more.

The issue is many folks were only doing like 3 or 4 hr a day and then double dipped to collect another paycheck because they had the time to. I don’t necessarily fault them.

Friend of mine intentionally took a boring bank job making like 50k less than he was making (so around $125k a yr) so he could coast as a high performer there then planned and did find another gig in Pacific time (were east Coast) and then pulled two checks and still only worked like 42 hr a week.

This is the true reason there making work from home optional.

This is why we can’t have nice things.

  It’s management’s own damn fault for trying to use butt time in seats as a proxy for productivity.

  Huh? If the job can be done this fast and the contract says, you get this money for doing that, why should that be wrong, meaning why should anyone be unhappy?
  
  Except companies are just in for the money and would rather pay you less … Hmmm

    All I can say is I agree with you; however, lots of contracts have you agree that you only work for that company while you’re employed by them

    Yeah, I think mine has a clause too, that requires me to at least inform my employee

    and the contract says, you get this money for doing that
    
    Almost certainly the contract doesn’t say this tho.

    Mine does. But I’m not working manual labor, so it definitely can and will differ I guess

so they should just sit and stare if they’ve finished their work? don’t be absurd, please. the whole system is way past its due date. our society needs to scrap it and start over. and i mean human society. the world, our species. the one we have now if fast leading us to extinction, along with most of the other creatures on earth. what he says isn’t the way, but it’s better than harassing people for doing more work when they finish their first job.
