I’m not writing up anything. I clock in when my shift starts, I complete the work designated for me for that shift, send it out by the time it needs to be sent out, and clock out at the end of my shift.

… same fucking thing, Einstein.

The non-fraudulant thing would be to clock out when you’re done.

Nope. They pay me for my availability, not how much of it they utilize.

That’s not fraud, that’s called “working smarter”. Not giving us a raise to account for inflation, now that’s fraud.

I’m not stealing, I’m just “shopping smarter”.

Maybe it’s meant to be, but my parents taught me about deliberate ignorance, and I intend to use it.

My parents tried teaching me that, but I was ignorant of their lessons.

Is it fraudulent for a mechanic working flat rate to complete a 10 hour job in 6 hours and collect the full 10 hours of pay?

Most shops I know of these days assign a labor time to any given job. You get charged that amount whether the mechanic does it in half the time or takes five times as long.

Anymore, it’s an internal benchmark for mechanics to build on the efficiency of their own work.

In my line of work, it may take me three hours to solve a client tax issue. I will bill for that accordingly.

If another client comes along the next day with the exact same issue, but this time I know the answer because I researched it yesterday, so I can solve it instantly, should the second client get charged nothing?

It does not, or at least should not work like this. If you can do same work, with same quality in less time than average, then pay rate is higher than average.

No.

It’s literally right there in the sentence you wrote, thankfully.

flat rate

Obviously not if it’s a flat rate. But empoyment rarely is flat rate based. The contract are usually require you to work a certain amount of time per week/month.

I remember those halcyon days when calling each other Sherlock and Einstein was the zenith of insults.

On the playground.

During recess.

In the fifth grade.

Which seems appropiate since most of people in this comment chain seem to be teenagers who’s only argument seem to be “boss bad” and “work bad”.
