Hoping someone has insight on this.
This is basically my first professional job and it is a contract. So I am working for a client company through a recruiting firm. I am paid hourly. I work from home. Been working here for months
On Friday’s, I report my hours worked for the week. I usually report 8 hours per day for the 5 day period. I am usually always around my computer during this time.
However, I feel horrible because I am not “working” the whole 8 hours every day. Sometimes I daydream, use my phone, waste time, etc. On some days I work maybe only a few hours. I also feel really bad become there have been days where I am tired and I just fall asleep on the clock.
My manager hasn’t really had any complaints for me. I usually finish all the time sensitive and short term tasks on time. Otherwise, there is always work that I can do that is due later in the future but I do not work on these tasks a lot.
If Being nonproductive is not a huge deal, I am still worried about the times I fall asleep. Im afraid This might’ve made my income haram or count as stealing. This guilt is consuming me everyday and I’m not sure how to move forward. Maybe I should talk to my manager about this without caring about the consequences?
Jazakallah Khairan
