Yeah, I also don't get why people expect to work 2 hrs instead of 8 and receive same salary.

Once you go from horse to tractor the fields increase but work hours doesn't decrease. And if you still use a horse, you are outperformed by the tractor guys who will sell stuff at less the price that you can sustain.

I don't get paid more when I work 9 or 10 hours, do I?

I am theoretically paid on deliverables, not hours.

		Maybe so, but the deliverables expected of a full time worker tend to correspond roughly to some estimate of a typical worker's productivity. Or people are hired to perform particular kinds of duties, and expected to be reasonably productive in those duties given the time and resources allocated to them.

		Your employment contract lists deliverables rather than work time?

Because that's what they observe the executive management performing for multiple employers simultaneously and the definitional difference between salary and hourly wage.
