Wrong: in a salaried job units of work is hours.
Unless your contract says otherwise.

You never do it in 2-3 hours per day, consistently.
If you are that good, don't tell anybody because they will start thinking they are paying you too much.
Nope, "units of work" is features delivered, bugs fixed, new people trained and so on.
As the parent commenter said, if you can do it in 2-3 hours per day -- this is great and you are getting benefits of being exempt.
Of course sometimes people pay you like you are exempt, but expect you to be present for 40 hours anyway like you are hourly -- and in this case, being exempt is a scam as the article said. But while common, this is far from universal.
