Is it weird/rude to do work during a 2 hour hair appointment (instead of taking the PTO)?

Personally, I view this job as task based not time based. Sometimes these tasks require specific timing of course... but in the larger picture, if we get the work done there is a flexible schedule on when and how we get it done.

@C2 Nit if we have kids, we can’t. Also, to OP, We’re salaried. We aren’t paid based on hours, but based on what we get done. That said, don’t think I could get much done in the hair chair. Clippings getting in my keyboard, hair falling in my eyes. Maybe during processing time, but that’s about it.

Hello, I am a new grad with a doctorate in OT. I just got an offer for a job working at a private school. The offer is 58K with benefits. 15 days PTO. Do you guys think I can negotiate the salary to 70K, which based on my research is the average pay for my level of experience and education? Or is that too much to ask?
