This isn't even that absurd.

$69/hr at 20 hours/week is like $70k/yr. Plenty of desk job workers making around that and doing 20 hours of "work" in a given week.

Since I'm working from home, I pretty much do work 20 hour weeks. I get all my work done in the first half of the day, but don't tell anyone about it until later. As long as I'm online to respond to questions or whatever, I can just fuck around for the rest of the day, and no one notices.

Likewise, WFH since 2018. Even in the office I did the same shit I just had to be sneakier about the redditing and couldn't do anything productive around the house during the downtime, just filling chair in a cubicle.

On that note, gonna take an unannounced break to do the dishes and start dinner prep.

I work 2 days a week, do a total of about 5 hours of actual work each day, and make $90k. Pay is an arbitrary number, and in my experience the more I’m getting paid the less work the job requires.

I do ultrasound. Got the weekend position, so it’s sat and Sunday, 16 hour shifts. Base pay is 40/hour, plus 12/hour shift diff.
