They’re referring to jobs where you have overarching goals and deliverables but aren’t logging actions to the event, or to the hour.
I’ve had jobs like yours and steady, dependable, maintainable pace is the way to get through the week. Don’t over promise, don’t look available for random new tasks.
At my current gig I have tasks issued at the 2 week level, and aside from very rare requests for assistance or discussion, I’m left to my to-do list, and my predetermined commitments. If I consistently meet my commitments, and show up for scheduled meetings, no one gives a shit when I actually work. It’s great but requires the right environment.
Same. They want me available during working hours but that doesn’t necessarily mean working. So if shit hits the fan at noon on Friday I’m around to answer questions, but unless something big is going down I’m not really doing anything.
I’m aware of that, I’m just bringing attention to the fact that some people work in positions where it doesnt matter how hard you worked throughout the week, getting an afternoon off is still very rare.
That’s not the type of job they are referring to.

It’s not off, it’s done and available
If I’m not at work, I’m off
I’m at the taco bell
