<p>@Slackerdad, the problem is that most workplaces aren’t set up to allow slow, methodical employees to work at their own pace and be paid less. It would be disruptive of normal work flow, make collaboration with others impossible, and require use of a separate pay scale that would be very difficult to properly construct–i.e., how much slower than normal is is Employee A; how about Employee B? And would that system mean that faster employees would have to be paid more? Someone like yourself would be better suited to working as an independent contractor where you could control your own workload and schedule and where, if you promised to complete a job in two weeks, it would be of no concern to the client whether you spent 10 hours or 100 hours to get it done, so long as you met the deadline.</p>
