      That’s an incredibly flawed analogy…

      Why throw away a juice bag, that you bought and paid for with the agreed sum for the full amount, without drinking all the contents?

      Were not talking employers draining your life for more time than you agreed to give them. If X amount of money for Y hours is what you agreed on, why do you feel entitled to not pay your part of the deal in full?

        Well, are they being paid for their time, or for their output? If they’re being paid for their time, then if their work for the day takes 10 hours do they get paid more? That just seems like incentive to work slower.

          Your contract probably specifies time, not output, so you’re being pair for your time.

          And yes, many who finish early with assignments just use the extra time to either work less or generally slower. That’s quite normal and completely understandable, I do that too. Nevertheless, you/we probably should inform our employers that they’re not getting full bang for their buck with your current effort, if you’re consistently underloaded.
