Maybe it would be more clear if you specified salary is in exchange for a certain minimum amount of output, then I would kinda agree. But then you also are expected be at work for the remainder of your contractual work hours. So it’s not as easy as saying one or the other is completely true, it’s a mixture of both time and output

I haven’t been at any salaried position:

My contract explicitly states that any week in which I perform any work, I’m to be paid a prorated weekly amount.

Managers do not care what hours I put in if my tickets + other duties are performed — and typically, I managed to get away with 35-37 hours. Some weeks were more like 50. Again, the role was duty based, not hourly.

Every salaried job I’ve had has been output, not time.
