If your contract demands certain amount of work but doesn’t demand certain hours then I’m guessing they aren’t the ones who the discussion is about. Unless the employer is demanding stuff in addition to the contract
If you literally did nothing, you might get fired or at least your contract would not be renewed depending on who you are/where you are. Some people actually do that though, usually some nepobaby, and manage to avoid getting fired because they have some connection to higher ups.
I could probably get away with doing little to nothing for a good while because I’ve built up a lot of good will and favors at my job, but eventually I’d probably get canned. I’d also get pretty bored with that pretty quickly, I actually do like my job, I just don’t usually go all out when I’m there.
Why not just put in zero hours?
Because you’re hired to get work done?
