If it's salaried and your work is done and you aren't missing meetings and calls and whatnot then who cares if you're using your day 'productively'? You must be if your work was done with no major issues. Who cares if it took you 6 hours or 8?

Anyone wanting to get the most out of the departement/team. If you only need 75% of your expected working hours to complete your assigned workload, its completely reasonable that they know so they can give you 25% more work to fill out the rest of your work day.

And if someone else takes 8 hours to do the same work that I did in 6, so they assign me 25% more, it's reasonable for me to expect to be paid 25% more too.
