I assume most of Google employees are exempt, so the exact number of hours spent on a job is hard to calculate.

Agreed, “hours worked” is starting to look like a dog whistle in these threads

How is it a dog whistle? How can you accurately compare unless you take such factors into account? Are you saying it's statistically insignificant?

I’m saying “hours worked” is a straw man to some extent since everybody is exempt so what does it matter?
