Why is the onus on workers to make sure they are working 100.00% of the time? It's not their company, they aren't management. If you want them to cosplay as managers maybe pay them as such rather than trying to pit them amongst each other.
i can't figure out what some of the commentary here is borne from. "you're not working 100% of the time so it's ok if they ask you to work outside of normal hours" is sadistic.
I took parent to be arguing that because people get paid at the office even though they aren't working 100% of the time, the same logic would dictate being paid when not at the office. The percentage flip would just mean that they aren't 100% doing leisure activities.
