This is an interesting interpretation.

I guarantee - you stop showing up at work, they stop paying you.
Nothing abstract. Nothing implicit. Nothing broken. You don't put in
the hours, you don't get the pay.

We are all hourly employees. Employers, employees, all hourly - no
matter how we restructure the wage-paying arrangement to add value to
the people skilled enough that employers want to retain them long-term.

I'm sitting here thinking about a client that's ever hired my company
for an abstract job, to be done on an abstract timeline, at an
abstract price...

I'll let you know when I remember...
