   I have consulted on hourly pay.   
   The oil&gas engineering industry uses the method so they can set-up   
   staff for projects - which start, run, and complete.  The folk go from   
   project to project.   
   You put in a time-sheet with your hours of work claiming payment.   
   Sanctions against Russia starting 2014 put an end to that.  Was the only   
   "happening" place and we were barred by our own government.   
   They were willing to make nuclear-powered drilling-rigs to operate in   
   the Arctic.  We abruptly severed from all that.

   After reaching our mid 50's I and others of my generation weren't welcome as   
   full-time employees on the company health plan, so I worked as an hourly   
   consultant.   
      
   Now they suffer the consequences of their actions.
