Hell no. I've been salaried and I've been hourly. I am more than willing to put in a few 50-55 or so hour weeks a year in exchange for being able to come in late or leave early for appointments without trouble, working about 35 hours a week every other week at most, being able to work from home more or less whenever I need to, never getting flagged for not clocking in/out at the right time... the list goes on and on. My salary is for 40 hour weeks, and I hold to that when I need to. But the reality of my job is that when there's a crisis I need to be there. I'll take that for all the advantages any day.

Unless you're salary. A wise man once told me "The longer it takes us to do this, the closer we get to minimum wage."
I don't know why q47tx uses it, but there are a lot of niche support communities that would be very difficult to give up. Subs that encourage sobriety, give basic legal or medical advice to those that can't afford lawyers/doctors, and subs with resources for domestic violence are just a few examples. I don't begrudge anyone for continuing to use reddit if they use it for things like that. I find myself there often because unfortunately, it's basically the largest resource for user-curated information and solutions, and a lot of my google searches for particular issues are only solved by going to an answer there. The part where I'll judge someone is if they continue to mindlessly browse reddit, as I used to until the API fuckery, but for all those things, yeah, reddit is still the best, as much as I don't want it to be. Lemmy could get there eventually, but the simple fact is, it's not yet.
What? Where do you work that you get paid for 40 hours while working and clocked in for 32 and also get to be clocked in while you're not there? I have a fantastic boss and do not let myself get pushed around.
