A quote I got from my manager when discussing how I can improve my performance today is that, “sometimes it takes 11 hours to do 8 hours of billable work”. I think I just realized that even my workplace, where I thought we had fairly good work-life balance, still expects workers to work for more time than they are paid. Why can't 8 hours of work be 8 hours of pay, all the time?
