    “earn by time” my brother in christ we call that being an hourly employee. That’s wild that they have the option to switch between the 2 only for when it’s more profitable for the company to do one or the other

      Oh it is absolutely a rip-off, even moreso than a normal job.

But right now, desperation is the name of the game.
