Or just choosing how much one wants to work or not. Why work 8 hour days for $100k/yr when I should be able to work 12 hour days for $150k/yr if I wanted?
Similarly if I could work 8 hour days for 100k, it would be nice to be able to work 6 hours for 75k. I know certain jobs aren't geared for that, but mine is and it is retarded that I can't do it simply because 40 hours is enshrined into all sorts of legislation. Fuck these retards who think the Jungle would be reality if we removed a lot of this legislation. In most cases I bet it is holding us back as a society.
The real trick here is that I'm on salary for 40 hours a week but I can get all my work done in 20 hours. I should be able to retain my salary and work 20 hours.
Very true. That's the kind of stuff I would like to be able to negotiate for but stuff like that is always extremely inflexible due to company policies which are generally the way they are due to various labor and tax laws. So it always ends up "we can give you a raise but we can't keep your pay the same and scale back your hours because something something benefits something something full time."

Exactly. Government regulations and rules need to go.
