Would not hire someone like you.

The right question you should ask is, is the 8hrs work day plus endless meetings most companies embrace killing workers morale and productivity.

Its your responsibility to commit to your craft when you sign that contract, period

I don’t think it’s the parking attendants, grocery store cashier's, or cleaners job to “commit to their craft.” That’s a load of nonsense, and it’s also not in a normal contract.

Some people just have jobs, either because of ability, or choice.
