It often feels like there are only 3 productive hours in typical American white collar work day.

What if we just cut out the rest?

Edit: Some great responses. So responses must have also been said about the 5 day and 40 hour work weeks.

    As a non-white-collar worker, I always find conversations like this very alienating. The idea of being on the clock while not working is bizarre to me.

      That’s why a lot of roles like this are salaried. My productivity can’t be measured by how fast I turn a crank.

      Why would you be on the clock? You work 3 hours and that pays enough money.
