I think it's fine if they are, but should this be the standard?

This is one of many societal mechanisms that forces individuals to continue working within the traditional 9-5 system, even if they don't want to.

Additionally, part time work, fractional, seasonal, independent, and freelance workers are often hung out to dry in terms of benefits because they don't hold a traditional, full time, 9-5 job.

For me, it's the following:

• Livable salary (regardless of hours)
• Choose my own days/hours/schedule
• 20 hours/week maximum (4hr/day)

Many people commute 1-2 hours per day, are forced to live outside of the city due to high cost of living, and all of this wasted time is unpaid.

Thoughts?

If hours were capped at 40, pay and benefits were the same, would you rather be an hourly or salaried employee?
