The arbitrary 8.5-9 hour workday drives me nuts, because a lot of the time, I really only have 3 or 4 hours worth of work to do. I generally work quickly and I value my time. Can I make a decent living doing something that gives me this kind of flexibility?
Holy white collar salaried bubble.
None of you people have even heard of hourly pay??
Nah, I’ve worked blue collar, white collar, retail, all kinds of jobs (I have ADHD and have job-hopped a lot). Every job I’ve ever had has been “you work these days, from this time to this time,” even if that means there’s hours of downtime. In fact, the only salary job I’ve had has been the most flexible, but I was still expected in office from 9 to 5. All my other jobs have been hourly and I’ve always been expected to be there for a set number of hours, no matter the type of work.
Bullshit. What jobs?
And if it’s “waiting for customers” that is called on-call work and they legally have to pay you for it. Because it’s work.
Tell me you’ve never had a job in your life, lmao
What the fuck hourly jobs are you seeing that allow you to leave whenever you want? What an intentionally obtuse take…

I don’t know where you live, but what you’re describing is not the norm in any developed country I’ve visited. Hourly jobs come with a schedule. You’re expected to be at work for the entire scheduled shift, it has nothing to do with amount of work to be done. If you just decide to leave halfway through your shift, you will be fired.
As an aside, if you were paid hourly and only worked a few hours a week, you wouldn’t make any fucking money. That’s kinda how hourly compensation works, you have to BE AT WORK for an hour if you wish to be paid for that hour.
Got any more dumbass fucking shit to say? Get bent.

Lol, it’s interesting to see what everyone does in these kinds of threads, to see where the community slants.
