That’s a can of worms. Basically employees are traditionally measured by the amount of time they are confined multipled by a factor representing their relative worth. Such an arrangement encourages slacking off of course, so the typical 40h wotker might do 20h of real work but if they went home early every day eyebrows will be raised so they need to be present the whole day. But what happens when working remote? There are no appearances to keep up and so it’s probably cool to do 20h as long as you are typically getting through enough work. And if you can take on 2 of those, why not? why should amazon have so many customers rather than just serve me? Well amazon don’t lie about it whereas in the work situation you might need to, and therein lies the rub.
