> However, management bought 8 hours of your time and not 4 when they hired you.
Nowhere in my employment contract does it say that.
Realistically, I am allowed to spend up to 8 hours to work on goals that my employer says I should work on. It is also understood that if the goals are completed earlier, I am free to fill the "free" part of 8 hours with self-learning.
There's also an implicit understanding that certain life activities may happen/overlap with that free time, e.g. eating/picking up kids.
Only in the most pedantic bad take world would your statement be correct.

(If you have to fill out timecards): does your timecard reflect that implicit understanding? Or, alternatively, if your timecard doesn’t, could you be hit with timecard fraud?
