The Two-Hour Rule is a law of American business which states that "no salaried employee, employed by a business to work in an office, may exceed two hours of actual work in any business day."
The Two-Hour Rule was created to ensure that American business thrived on efficiency, not on dumb hard work, so that Americans could enjoy the lives they had earned.
I'll be sure to pass this on to my DH, who will be pissed that no one informed him of this rule all those years he was working 70 hours a week as a salaried employee while his hourly workers got breaks, lunch hours and actually got had a choice to work more for overtime or go home and see their families.
"TIme spent reading and replying to work email feels like you're working, but it doesn't count towards your two hours. That's OK, because two hours is a maximum, but time spent reading email is still time wasted. That's why I only open mine a couple of times a month, just long enough to select large blocks of unread messages and delete them."
That ^^^made me crack up!
