> Why aren't people paid a full time salary for the work they're expected to do instead of the time they sit at a desk? It's a question I genuinely struggle with.

Because it's hard to quantify what's expected of someone.

It's much easier to just count the time they're working, so that's what we're doing.

If that's the case I'd expect performance reviews to be limited to attendance. Since they're not, it would suggest we do indeed have ways to quantify our expectations for a role.
