[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH is at a job that pays very well and he hardly spends 15 hours a week working from home. Once in a long while he needs to put in 30-40 hours of work and he would be totally stressed out! LOL

I make about half of his pay but need to work 40-45 hours a week.[/quote]

What kind of job does he do where he spends so little time and earn a very high salary? Some us want a job like that. That's so amazing.[/quote]

It's like you are in 9th grade and your high school algebra teacher is accusing you of cheating and looking off someone else because you just wrote the answers down without showing your work, and you quip back.  "But I'm the first one done how could I have cheated?"

99.9% of you won't understand that, he's doing the same work as you just that much faster.

If he is an employee and not a 1099 or independent contractor, his employer probably considers him derelict. He’s lucky he’s still remote, he should be using that other time for  innovation and likely other parts of the business. He’s not 65% more efficient then his peers — they are likely doing the things he’s neglecting. [/quote]

My DH is like this and me too to a lesser extent. As long as we are reachable, it's fine from the employer's perspective.

I have coworkers that certainly put in more hours. They produce a ton of work product that needs extensive editing from those of us that are higher paid. Sometimes they will ask me to review the same draft 2-3 times. When I produce a work product, it is basically done and does not require reworking. [/quote]
