I have to admit the most surprising part of that post is that you once got by with working 10h for a 40h job. Either the standards for work in some places are incredibly low, or your ability to pull off such a thing is one of the real reasons that such salary bump was possible.
Something that always baffled me—all of this was regularly cited for why otherwise productive employees were fired. And everything was also done by unproductive employees, who never got caught for it.
I could never quite figure out the rules for who gets punished for slacking off vs. who gets rewarded for it.
In fact, all of my jobs (3 in total) until the current one had placed very lenient demands on my time. I think it’s more of a management/operational issue, though. While I won’t deny that I can solve some problems fast, most of the downtime was from an inefficient work pipeline.

Other than that, good luck with your experiment!
