Let's say you're employed by a non-profit hospital doing an inpatient job seeing 10 patients per day. You come in at 8 and leave between 1pm to 3:30pm most days, but available by phone or to come back if needed, but that never happens. The hospital environment is very flexible, not a rigid clinic schedule, so some people get done earlier, some later, but you're working like 6 hours a day and getting median salary. How do you explain this to hospital admin when they try to compare you to hospital medicine working all day? Don't people know this is just how psych works? Some days are longer, but it's not uncommon to get paid full time and be out early afternoon.
