👉 The word "straight billed" is like having a set schedule for work, where every day you get to do the same thing and receive the same pay.
Here's an example sentence: "Hey everyone! It's been a while since we last spoke about straight-billed work at our company. I'm excited to share with you our new employee who is doing a fantastic job. She's a straight-billed worker here, which means she gets paid for the same amount of work as someone else in that role." The example sentence is edgy because it implies a strange and unexpected change in the company's approach or culture, but also unsettling because of how surprising the new hire is seen by many of her coworkers.
