4 hours continuous or no? I can't imagine finding 4 hours of straight focus.


These kinds of roles are for youngsters with minimal commitments who are looking for their shot to break into a wild industry. It’s not for the middle aged single parent with FTE and just enough free time to do an extra load of laundry.


Continuous


damn that sucks

i guess that ensures you either hire the childless

or those with children who are fine with be not present for that long willingly (so they are probably gonna be job-obsessed enough)

or they are currently unemployed so they won't have an existing job as anchoring leverage

well played, anthropic


I’m trying to imagine what would make it impossible to not pay attention to your children for four hours and the only thing I can think of that can’t be scheduled around is…a very young newborn, maybe? If they’re prone to waking up constantly?


Babies and toddlers need parental care and attention too.


Usually you can get four hours of time where they’re not likely to bother you from them.


I can't imagine wanting to hire someone as an FTE who is unable to spend 4hrs working in a day.


i can't but i put out staff level work and get paid happily accordingly for years now

nobody i know ever spends 4hrs uninterrupted working remotely lolol
