    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

            That’s the point of the clause; to fire people who tell them they’re working a second full-time job. When required to be in office everywhere it becomes quite obvious very quickly. They’re upset they can’t tell if you’re two-timing or not if you work from home, so they want to make sure you come in and work for them

              Petty tactics from petty people. If someone is doing the job they are paid for, why bother? It’s like the employers are entitled to the 40 hours or something, even if all the work is done.

                If someone is doing the job they are paid for,

                They aren’t if they aren’t available because they are working the second job. I question how many people saying this are actually salaried workers who’ve read their employment agreements.

        and the contract says, you get this money for doing that

        Almost certainly the contract doesn’t say this tho.
