In most jobs you are being paid for a blend of:

- Skills and abilities.

- Availability.

In workplaces where facetime is valued, they are maximizing availability.

Sometimes this can be legitimate, since you do have to collaborate with others and be available to answer questions etc.

However in my experience those workplaces which are obsessed with availability tend to be disorganized firefighting organizations that operate in an in 'all hands on deck' style.
