My take on this is that I'm a salaried employee, not hourly. My
employer gave me a job to do, explained how and when they wanted it
done, and how much they were willing to pay me. I accepted. So, I
deliver the product on time and to the required specifications. How
I do that is entirely up to me.

A number of people have said similar things, both on-list and privately.

One thing that I'm not clear on, however, and would like to ask the list generally: Is saying that you're paid for results or that keeping up with the profession a rationale (meaning a line of logic that you have developed on your own)? Or is this reasoning accepted by whoever you report to?

Let me stress that I'm not condemning here; I'm simply asking.
